How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no breadcrumbs or flour are used as binders in the meatloaf mixture. Ensure any gravy is thickened without flour or starch, or request plain pan drippings/butter. Ask for keto-friendly sides like cauliflower mash or steamed green vegetables, avoiding potatoes or rice.
