Easy Keto Air Fryer Bacon and Beef Meatloaf
If you're looking for a simple and low-effort lunch or dinner recipe, this fantastic meatloaf is definitely for you. Keto air fryer recipes are a perfect option if you're looking for a healthier and easier way to prepare your favorite meals. This beautiful recipe is juicy and tender with a wonderful bacon flavor you will love. It only takes about 35 minutes to create a delicious, Keto-friendly meatloaf everybody will enjoy. Freshly grated Parmesan and soy sauce will add an extra kick to this classic meal, while the almond flour will act as a perfect nutty binder. This is one of the best air fryer recipes you'll ever try!
Can I skip the soy sauce?
Yes, you can skip the soy sauce but we don't recommend it. Soy sauce is one of the secret ingredients that make this recipe so special.
What other types of cheese can I use instead of Cheddar?
If you're not a fan of Cheddar, you can replace it with Provolone or Swiss cheese. Another great option would also be Monterey Jack.
What if my bacon starts to brown too fast?
If your bacon is browning too fast, feel free to cover the meatloaf with a piece of aluminum foil. Remove the foil a few minutes before you take the meatloaf out.

35 min
Step 1
Finely dice the onion and garlic. Grease a frying pan with olive oil and heat up over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.Step 2
In a large bowl, add the ground beef, shredded cheddar, almond flour, grated Parmesan, eggs, parsley, soy sauce, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, pepper, and the onion mixture. Mix well to combine, making sure to distribute the shredded cheddar evenly. Optionally, you can add some more herbs or spices at this point.Step 3
Divide the mixture between 4 aluminum pans that fit your air fryer basket. Top each meatloaf with sliced bacon (two bacon slices per meatloaf). You can also use a regular mini loaf pan as long as they fit your air fryer basket. The baking time will be the same.Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F/175°C. Put the meatloaf in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-25 minutes. Repeat with the remaining meatloaves.Step 5
When done, remove from the air fryer and cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan. Garnish with some chopped parsley and optionally serve with shredded cheddar. Slice and serve immediately.

I don't care for soy sauce, might try liquid smoke instead.

Fantastic. We really enjoyed this. I baked it in the oven at 375 until it reached 150. As it set it continued to 165. One piece was plenty, but I had to have another piece.

Easy to make, just not a fan of the flavor.

Can you use plain flour

If you want to remain Keto but don't like almond flour (I hate it), I usually substitute pork rinds as a binder. Grind them in a blender and mix them in - better taste than almond flour too!

So yes, or no 😊

ROLLO’SMOMMA2024 I’ve tried using ground sunflower seeds in a fathead pizza dough recipe, & it worked. Grind the raw sunflower seeds in a spice blender, just be careful not to grind too much or you’ll have seed butter! 😁

This was okay. It wasn't great, and it wasn't horrible. It lasted all week for one person.

Has anyone made this in the oven? How long did you bake it if you did?
Terri Bo Berry 2 years ago
I’m gonna try it in my convection oven. Probably 325 for 45 mins. Also making it in one pan.

Best meatloaf I’ve ever had. The flavor was amazing and the hint of cayenne brought it all together. This will definitely be a staple in our home.

Great recipe, but I'm a little confused. Recipe it is for 8 servings but each serving is listed as 7.8 oz. How can this be? When weighing out then that results in only 4 servings. Therefore the recipe has an error somewhere. I'll make these 8 servings but not sure my numbers will be accurate
StupendousKetone287927 2 years ago
I love this app but I do have to say there are a lot of errors. Nobody’s perfect, I get it, but someone should be double checking for accuracy. Just saying!
recipewriter 3 years ago
We apologize! It was a mistake. You're right - it's 8 servings (3.9 oz per serving).
