Grain Free Cheese Filled Mini Meatloaf-

This Grain Free Cheese Filled Mini Meatloaf is easy to throw together, keto, low carb main dish that is baked in a muffin tin.

Preparing meat loves in a muffin pan is a great way to serve meatloaf and have automatic portion control.

I have been experimenting with my family meatloaf recipe. I have been trying to make it grain-free and low carb.

Finally, I have made a version that is just as good as the old recipe. This one is primal, low carb and grain-free, but could be paleo if you omit the cheese.

It could be made in a regular loaf pan, but it is easier to have more precise portions if made in a muffin pan. The kids think it is cuter that way too.

Cheese-Filled Mini Meatloaf-

After mixing the meatloaf, I divide the meat in half and make the first layer. Then top that layer with cheese.

Layer another half of meat mixture on top of the cheese, and spread tomato glaze on top, or you can use my Keto BBQ Sauce. Last, I sprinkle the glaze with a sweetener of choice.
