Bacon Covered Meat Loaf - A Great Low Carb Recipe

Libby at Ditch The Carbs Blog is a busy person, looking after family ... creating some great low carb recipes, plus a hundred and one other things! She recently posted, this great meatloaf recipe - one to share and try out  

It is incredibly low carb with only 1.2g per slice.
Hide grated vegetables inside.
It’s fabulous for breakfast the next day or school lunches.
The meatloaf can be frozen as individual slices with baking paper in between. Defrost a slice as you need it.
Leftovers are king for breakfast (cereals are so last year   )

1 spring onion sliced
2 crushed garlic cloves
750g / 1.6 lb mince/ground beef
750g / 1.6 lb mince/ground pork

2 slices bacon diced
30g / 1 oz chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
2 tsp dried oregano

grated vegetables of choice can also be added
slices of bacon to cover the meatloaf
Optional - if not paleo you can add 100g / 3.5 oz grated cheese of choice to the meatloaf mixture

INSTRUCTIONS
Oil and line a baking tray before starting.
Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated together.

There are times when I think ... 'I'll bump a post up' ... this is one of those times

With the slightly cooler days of Autumn, a meal like this can go down a treat

Another meatloaf recipe suggestion I saw at Libby's Ditch The Carbs Site.

It's Easy Meatloaf Cupcakes and she says "The best thing is, unlike a regular full sized meatloaf, the meatloaf cupcakes are so quick to cook. I’m always going on about “leftovers are king” but these really are. Make a huge batch, vary the flavours and freeze them. You will always have a snack, lunch or breakfast ready."


Ingredients:
Base Recipe
1 onion diced finely
700g / 1.5lb ground/mince beef
2 eggs lightly beaten
salt and pepper to taste
100g / 3.5oz shredded/grated cheese

Examples Of Flavourings
2 slices bacon diced
handful fresh basil
handful fresh parsley
1/4cup sundried tomatoes diced
2 tsp dried oregano
