serveringsstørrelse 4 people

Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce, divided

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 250°F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack on top.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, Parmesan, almond flour, onion, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the marinara. Mix gently just until combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 8 inches long. Place it on the wire rack, leaving space around the sides so the smoke can circulate.
  • Smoke the meatloaf until its center reaches 155°F, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on its shape and the smoker. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Spread the remaining marinara over the top. Continue smoking until the center reaches 160°F.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the slices hold together.

For the cleanest slices, keep the loaf compact when shaping it and let it rest before cutting. Choose a thick, sugar-free marinara so the topping stays in place, and check its label if you are keeping the meal keto.
