Rating: 4 stars Many low-carb recipes use pork skins as a subsitute for bread crumbs. This is usually what makes the food so salty, not the garlic. Keep this in mind- I usually skip the salt all together and add a little fresh garlic or onion instead! Thumb Up Helpful (164)

Rating: 5 stars A great way to serve meatloaf with less fat and more protein. I did mine "Cheeseburger-style." I used 1 lb. extra lean beef and 1 lb. ground turkey 3/4 cup cheddar cheese flavored pork rinds 1/2 cup egg beaters instead of the 2 real eggs and Lawrey's seasoning. I layed it out on a sheet pan and topped it with 1/3 cup green onion and sliced low-fat American cheese on top then rolled it up and baked it in a loaf pan for one hour at 375. Turned out so pretty and tasted fantastic!!! Thumb Up Helpful (104)

Rating: 5 stars Since my husband and I are on the Herbalife diet plan I needed more protien and less calories. So I made a few adjustments that boosted the protien to about 30 and lowered calories to around 300 as well as added a side dish. Use 1 lb. Ex.lean ground beef (93/7)and 1/2 lb. ground chicken. Replace eggs with 1/2 cup Southwestern egg beaters. Exchange plain porkskins for BBQ flavored and omit Chili powder. Replace garlic salt with fresh or jarred chopped garlic (helps reduce saltiness others complained about). Keep garlic pepper and add 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning. I forgot the worchestershire and it was okay without it. Add about a 1/2 cup of finely choped onion. Mix well and form loaf. Put in retangular casserole dish. Bake as directed. About 20 minutes before meatloaf is finished remove from oven and add 2 cans french green beans and 1 can diced tomato around sides of loaf and coat top of loaf with a mixture of 1 sm. can tomato paste 1 Tblsp. chilli sauce and 2 Tblsp. ketchup. Return to oven and finish baking. I recomend using a meat thermometer to make sure meat is thoroughly cooked. I served with a salad for a wonderful tasty and healthy meal. My son didn't even know he was eating "diet" food so everyone was happy. Thanks for a great recipie...this one is a keeper at our house! Thumb Up Helpful (72)

Rating: 3 stars Meatloaf is very salty! I would use maybe just regular powered garlic next time instead of the seasoned salt. Thumb Up Helpful (62)

Rating: 4 stars I did as instructed and also made the following changes: omitted garlic salt and used 1 Tbsp garlic powder 2 tsp minced garlic BBQ flavored pork skins. Added 2 ounces of heavy cream 1 Tbsp oregano 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper chopped green onion. Put half the amount of meat in the loaf pan then added 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and then put the rest of the meat in the pan so the cheese is in the middle. (Got the idea from Emeril!). It came out so delicious and flavorful and very moist! The grease from the cheese does rise up making it look odd but it is a great low carb dish that tasted excellent! Will be doing this one again. Thank you! Thumb Up Helpful (39)

Rating: 3 stars I never add the pork skins. Adding filler to meat loaf was started to make the meat stretch not in enhance the flavor. I add lots of chopped fresh mushrooms, onions, and red peppers. Thumb Up Helpful (25)

Rating: 3 stars This recipe rates well for ease of preparation (my boyfriend made it on his own in less than 10 minutes -- and he DOES NOT COOK!); but it rates low for flavor due to an excess of chili powder (2.5 TBSP!!!) and salt. I'd follow LOWCARBGIRL's advice to not add any other salt outside the pork rinds. Being on Atkins this one is a keeper so long as I replace some of the chili powder with other spices like thyme oregano parsley... The kids ate it but noone asked for seconds. Thumb Up Helpful (19)

Rating: 5 stars I love this recipe! I use ground turkey and I add basil and Italian seasoning! I also use spicy pork skins being from the south it really adds to the spices! It is a great meal for those watching their carbs! Thumb Up Helpful (17)
