Keto Lasagna Meatloaf – Low Carb & Gluten Free

This Keto Lasagna Meatloaf is a guaranteed crowd pleaser with even non-keto and picky family members! Serve it with pasta for them and zucchini noodles or my Cheesy Keto Polenta for you!

When I first started the blog I was known for my Meatball Monday Recipes, where I made keto meatballs from all sorts of classic dishes and different cuisines. Meatballs are great, but can be time consuming to make, whereas meatloaf is so easy to bake and slice! So I’ve been dedicating myself to more delicious keto meatloaf recipes lately.

So far I’ve got the popular balsamic-glazed meatloaf and bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper meatloaf recipes here on the blog, and also the pepperoni pizza meatloaf in my best-selling book Keto for Life.

Now I’m serving up this Keto Lasagna Meatloaf, which boasts a seasoned ground beef layer, stuffed with spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, then topped with a ground sausage “cap” which gives you two distinctly different flavors of meat, as you would in a traditional meat lasagna containing both sausage and ground beef.

Before you go getting all worried about the complications of a stuffed keto meatloaf, I can assure you it’s pretty simple to put together. Here are the steps in photos:

See? Easy peasy! You really just need to make sure you press that cap down securely so that it bonds to the ground beef edges and prevents all of your cheese from oozing out of the sides. Then poke a few vent holes for steam in the top of it and you’re ready to bake – and EAT this delicious Keto Lasagna Meatloaf!

I’m excited for you!!! ??

Keto Lasagna Meatloaf Notes:

1. When baking, do place a cookie sheet or foil underneath the loaf pan in the oven to catch any drips, as juice from the meatloaf is likely to spill over the edges.
2. Wait at least 30 minutes for the keto lasagna meatloaf to “set” before slicing, otherwise all of your cheese will run out at the first cut!
3. Shown served with my Easy Keto Marinara Sauce and fresh basil leaves – highly recommend! You can also serve this with any low sugar, keto friendly tomato sauce of your choice. Rao’s Marinara is my favorite store-bought brand.
4. I neglected to line my loaf pan with foil first, and I recommend doing so because it makes it easier to remove this keto meatloaf after cooking. Alternatively, you can get this genius loaf pan with a lift out insert for meatloaf on Amazon, which I’ve already got in my cart and can’t wait to get my hands on!
