Ingredients
- 3 pounds ground beef 80/20 chuck is the best choice for this recipe
- 2 1/4 cups minced cauliflower or 3/4 cup of ground pork rinds
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 teaspoons salt I used Himalayan salt
- dash of pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup gluten-free tomato paste, optional Muir Glen is gluten-free
For Spicy Mayo
- 2 tablespoons of avocado mayo I highly recommend Primal Kitchen Mayo
- 1/2 tablespoon of sriracha more or less depending upon how hot you'd like your sauce Sky Valley Siracha Sauce is gluten-free.
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350℉.
- Give the cauliflower a quick spin in your food processor fitted with the large chopping blade just until it is minced. You’ll need 2 1/4 cups.2 1/4 cups minced cauliflower
- In a large bowl, combine meat, minced cauliflower, parmesan, onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper.3 pounds ground beef, ½ cup chopped onion, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt, dash of pepper
- Whisk eggs in a small bowl. Then add to the meat mixture. Mix with your hands until evenly combined.2 eggs
- I recommend using this type of broiler pan with a grid top. Line the bottom drip pan of the broiler pan with foil.
- Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the slotted upper part of the broiler pan. This will allow the fat to drain into the bottom drip pan.
- Bake for a total of 1 1/2 hours.
- 10 minutes before it's finished baking, brush the top of the loaf with tomato paste.1/4 cup gluten-free tomato paste, optional
For Spicy Mayo
- Stir mayo and sriracha together in a small bowl.2 tablespoons of avocado mayo, 1/2 tablespoon of sriracha
- Slice and serve your meatloaf with spicy mayo sauce on the side.
Notes
- Cauliflower rice is our substitute for the bread crumbs. Cauliflower keeps our meatloaf juicy.
- If you want to make a smaller meatloaf, the ratio should be 60% meat to 40% cauliflower: 1 1/2 cups of cauliflower to 2 pounds of meat. Be sure to adjust your cooking time, as well.
- Variation: Swap out the cauliflower for low carb ground pork rinds as I do in my pork tenderloin crispy bites. You'll only need 3/4 cup of ground pork rinds. It's delicious!
- You could serve this meatloaf with a traditional Au Jus Gravy. But spicy mayo made with mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce is a fun way to add another burst of flavor.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze it if you want to keep it longer. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
