INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
GROUND BEEF:
- Ground beef will provide an important fat content and rich flavors. We can use ground chicken, turkey, or lamb as a replacement.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We can use almond flour, as it will give a cohesive and soft texture to this meatloaf. You can replace it with ground flaxseed meal, a little bit of coconut flour, or ground flaxseed meal.
ONIONS:
- Onions are utilized to provide a sweet taste and improve all the flavors. We can swap them with finely chopped green onions, shallots, or onion powder.
ALMOND MILK:
- We utilize almond milk, as it will deliver moisture content to this meatloaf. As a replacement, you can use beef broth, heavy cream, or coconut cream.
KETCHUP:
- We have to use keto ketchup, as it will deliver a sweet taste and tarty flavor. As an alternative, you can use a keto sweetener, tomato paste, or keto ketchup.
WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:
- You can use Worcestershire sauce, which will give an umami flavor and deep taste. Instead, we can use balsamic vinegar, tamari, or soy sauce.
