Prep. Preheat oven to 350 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Cook veggies + combine. Heat oil (2 tablespoons) in a pan, and add chopped onion (1 medium), salt (1 teaspoon), and pepper (½ teaspoon). Cook over medium heat until softened (about 10 minutes). Add minced garlic (4 cloves ) and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Place cooked veggies into a large bowl and stir in Worcestershire (3 tablespoons). Add the ground beef (2 Lb), eggs (3), mozzarella (1 1/4 cups), remaining salt, and pepper ( 1 1/ 2 teaspoons) and combine thoroughly.
Assemble + Bake. Form meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet into a 5” wide loaf with your hands. Brush sauce over the top and bake in the oven for 1 hr, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 155 F. Allow the meatloaf to cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cutting board. Grab a few slices, serve with additional ketchup, and live your best cozy life.
Notes
Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick toLakanto andSwerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
Mild Tasting Oil. You want an oil with a high smoke point and mild flavor -- think avocado, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, peanut. Skip EVOO, coconut, or sesame oil.
The sauce. I like to double the recipe for extra dipping sauce, this will increase the carb count.
