How to make this meatloaf low carb

There are a few REALLY simple swaps with this veggie stuffed meatloaf to make this low carb. You want to use a sugar-free barbecue sauce and then swap the breadcrumbs out for almond flour instead!

I’m calculating 4 Carbs per slice when splitting this recipe into the 8 servings are recommend in the recipe below

Almond flour is a fantastic breadcrumb swap and especially when it comes to being in meatloaf. You truly cannot tell the difference.

Well, besides your pocketbook. Almond flour is definitely expensive and best to buy in bulk. BUT if you are not trying to follow a low carb diet simple breadcrumbs work well.
