LOW CARB MARINARA + MOZZARELLA MEATLOAF RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Low Carb Marinara + Mozzarella Meatloaf Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds lean ground beef
11 ⁄2 cups marinara sauce, no sugar added
1 ⁄4 cup diced red onion
3 large eggs
1 ⁄2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ⁄2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
3 ⁄4 cup mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and ready a nonstick 9x5 loaf pan for baking. (Or spray a regular loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.) 2. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, 1 cup of the marinara sauce, diced red onion, eggs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. (This is easiest done with your hands.) 3. Evenly fill loaf pan with the meatloaf mixture, patting with your hands to form an even top. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. 4. Remove loaf from oven; drain any excess fat or liquid, and then top with the remaining 1⁄2 cup of marinara sauce, and all of the mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees. Drain fat from pan once more and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into 8 equal slices. George's Tips | When buying marinara sauce, it is very important to read the labels! Look for the sauce that is the lowest in sugar. While tomatoes contain some natural sugars, check the ingredients list for any sugar or corn syrup that may have been added. With so many jars to choose from, there's no need to buy the one with added corn syrup! Variation | If you do not have a loaf pan, simply form a rounded loaf by hand in a large baking dish. Also, you can make an Italian Vegetable Stuffed Meatloaf by adding 1⁄4 cup of diced roasted red peppers and 1⁄2 cup of diced fresh zucchini. calories:425|fat: 28g|protein: 29g |fiber: 1g|net carbs:6.5g See More of my Recipes on Pinterest---> http://www.pinterest.com/thegeorgestella/low-carb/

Tips for a Perfect Mozzarella Meatloaf

* Choose high-quality ground beef: The quality of the ground beef will have a significant impact on the flavor and texture of your meatloaf. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and avoid using ground beef that is too lean, as it can be dry and crumbly. * Use fresh breadcrumbs: Fresh breadcrumbs will help to bind the meatloaf together and give it a light and airy texture. Avoid using store-bought breadcrumbs, as they can be dry and stale. * Add moisture to the meatloaf: Mozzarella cheese is a great way to add moisture and flavor to your meatloaf. You can also add other moist ingredients, such as eggs, milk, or tomato sauce. * Season the meatloaf well: Be generous with the seasonings when you are making your meatloaf. Common seasonings for meatloaf include garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. * Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: A low cooking temperature will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. The ideal internal temperature for meatloaf is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. * Let the meatloaf rest before serving: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful and moist.

Conclusion

Mozzarella meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a meatloaf that is moist, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give mozzarella meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
