Low Carb Bacon Meatloaf Muffins #keto
I’ve been trying to get back to my low carb / keto (ish) style of eating just so I can keep added sugars out of my diet. I haven’t been so good lately. PCOS isn’t going to fix itself and since there is no cure, I owe it to myself to find things I can eat which will help me manage it. A low carb lifestyle really helps with that, so I am on a mission to get back to that. I have been wanting to make these bacon wrapped mini meatloaf for quite some time. Now that the weather is cooler in the mornings, it’s the perfect time to turn on the oven.
I love these for a few reasons.
Bacon. I mean, pretty much everyone likes bacon.
Portion. Because they are made in an oven tin they are perfectly portioned.
Time. I hate making meatloaf. Who has time to wait for an entire loaf pan of meat to cook? These take half the time.
Meals. We can have these for dinner with some sides or with breakfast paired with an egg.
Simplicity. Take your non stick muffin pan, surround the circles with bacon. Take your ground meat, add seasonings, mix and put a little ball in the muffin tin. Bake.
We loved these. I had a few for dinner and put some sour cream on the top with some parsley.
I had them for breakfast with an egg.
Even Tink had a treat (she licked my plate,)
What I liked best is that I made a dozen so I was able to store some extras in the fridge for a few meals later in the week.

This looks and sounds yummy. I am trying to cut our a lot of carbs so this is perfect.
This looks like a perfect meal for a special breakfast treat or “watch the ballgame on TV” evening. The ideas include everything that’s popular around here, and I won’t feel so guilty splurging on bacon since I can use it for dinner, too.
Mini meatloaves. I love this idea. Quick and easy is the way to go.
I would love these for breakfast with eggs! My son would eat them for snacks sheet school too.
Yum this sounds and looks so good! I think my whole family would love these! Going to have to make!
These are so perfect to serve on the weekends. They’re great for Sunday brunch too.
Bacon AND meatloaf….sign me up! I can not wait to make these. They are going to go over BIG!
Bacon wrapped meatloaf in a single serving size? Yes, please! That looks great.
LOve this idea! I have never tried sopmething like this so I might just do it this weekend.
I love how quick and easy this is! It would be a great breakfast side with eggs!
I need to add bacon to my meatloaf! Then the kids will love it! I have made mini meatloaves before that were individual size but for the kids I think this size is even better! Totally pinning!
These look so awesome! I would love to try these with breakfast or the nights I choose to make breakfast for dinner. We love bacon in our house.

Oh yeah! These are awesome. I’d be happy to make a few trays of these for the family.
Oh my goodness – I can’t even tell you how happy I am to see these in low carb form! This is the only way I like meatloaf and now that I’m dieting and trying to watch what I eat I can start making these again! Thank you x1000! They look incredible!
Oh boy – the boys in my house are going to loooove this recipe 🙂
You made them look so pretty! I don’t like bacon but my husband would LOVE these!
I love bacon and egg ! My son always order bacon burritos at restaurant! His favorite food
That looks really good. I love that this only takes half the time to prepare. I definitely have to try this.
We love bacon! Your bacon meatloaf muffins sound perfect for breakfast! It’s a good thing that it’s lowcarb too.
I did enjoy some for breakfast, too! I need to make some more ASAP
This is such a fantastic dinner idea. I will have to try this out on the weekend. My family will love it.
Oh these look so convenient! My family loves bacon and meatloaf, but I haven’t combined them. This looks like a must-try.
I would make those because I love eating low carb. Those look quick and easy too.
Hey that is pretty nifty. And the bacon makes it too, I bet. 🙂
How creative! Although I don’t eat meat, I know there’s some people in my family that would love this bacon recipe. 🙂
This looks so good! Would be cool to show off with these when I get guests over to stay. 😉
So true, who doesn’t like bacon? These look so awesome and delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
I love the addition of bacon to this. I bet they are great. I need to do this for our family dinner
Yep. Pretty hard to not like bacon, right? These are a really great idea – very versatile, and they sound delicious!
You had me at bacon! I will have to see what my boyfriend thinks of this.
Got some in the oven right now. Perfect for me because I had a few pieces of bacon left from wrapping around my asparagus last night. I also made enough for a medium meatloaf. I added some onion and peppers to mine.
These look amazing but how many carbs are they? Just curious!
