Comfort food to the max! There's no reason sticking to a lifestyle way of eating should feel hard, depriving or not taste good! I hope I'm proof that living a low carb lifestyle can be delicious and easy. This recipe fits right into what I love- yummy comfort food with minimal ingredients that's easy to prepare and FUN to eat.
1 medium white onion, sliced thin
4 Tbsp of butter, divided
1 lb ground turkey or ground beef
4 Tablespoons Almond Flour
small sprinkle of dried Thyme
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
3/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Large Egg
3oz Gruyere Cheese
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
For the Gravy:
1 head of Garlic
2 cups Stock (chicken or beef depending on which type of meat you're using)
3 Tbsp butter
In a large sauté pan heat 2 Tbsp of butter and a tsp of olive oil over medium/ medium low heat. Add in the sliced onion. Add in a small sprinkle of salt and allow them to cook for about 20-25 minutes until they are soft and cooked down. Set aside.
Cut the head of garlic about 1/4 from the top. Place it on a piece of tin foil and drizzle on 1/2 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Close up the tin foil and roast on the same baking sheet as the meatloaf. Allow to cook for 30 minutes.
For the meatloaf: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl add in the ground meat, almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, sprinkle of salt and pepper, and another sprinkle of dried thyme. Then add in the egg and about half of the cooked onions.
Mix well and form into a loaf on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees.
Then top the meatloaf with the rest of the cooked onions and the shredded gruyere. Put back into the oven under the broiler, watching it carefully for the cheese to melt and brown, about 5 minutes.
Allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into it.
For the gravy:
When the meatloaf timer has 20 minutes left bring the beef broth and butter to a rolling boil on medium high heat. Remove the garlic head from the oven after it has been cooking for 30 minutes and remove the cloves with a knife (see video for how I do it) and add them into the stock. Let this reduce down for 20 minutes whisking every few minutes breaking up the garlic cloves.
To serve cut the meatloaf and spoon some gravy over each slice. Enjoy!
