Low-carb Meatloaf Recipes

[ysabetwordsmith]

I got curious and discovered that both flax meal and chia seeds are used in low-carb meatloaves. Also some of these sound damn good.

>> Ok, I'll admit I never thought of adding SEEDS to a meatloaf.... <<

Sunflower seeds, pepitas, and walnuts also work. Almond meal is used in some recipes instead of bread crumbs.

>> I'll have to get some flaxseed and chiaseed and see how they taste. <<

Flaxseed has kind of a dark flavor. Chia doesn't taste like much at all to me -- we use it to make something akin to tapioca pudding. The problem is it doesn't flavor up very easily. I wind up just putting an already flavored liquid into it; hot chocolate powder works well, as do yogurt beverages.
