So, you aren't actually toughening the meat when you overmix it, you are melting the fat with the warmth of your hands, making the ground muscle meat pack together more densely, thus, making it a tougher, solid texture. When I worked for a butcher I learned that you add ice instead of just water in the recipe when hand mixing sausage meat, that way the ground fat stays cold and solid and gives you the looser, juicier texture after cooking.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb no prob! I love food science! I'll tell you, though, boy do your fingers ache from the cold!! Be careful if you try it and have some lukewarm water nearby for a plunge if your fingers get too cold!
LOL! I knew by the first bite of the second meatloaf that was the winner. The way you looked up at the camera was priceless. I love this channel! You're the best!
Oh lord! That second one is the best meatloaf I have ever tasted. I added 4 cloves of garlic because I love it. I made the gravy too, strained the solid drippings out, sensational. Great work Wes, I know this is an older video but I'm newish to Keto & fully appreciate your efforts. Regards from Australia.
Have made the bacon wrapped recipe twice. Love it! I add a few slices of bacon over the ends of the loaf after I've turned it over into a pan since you have leftover bacon from a 12 oz pkg anyway. The gravy is outstanding as well. I use 2 lbs of ground beef, just because it's easier. Takes about an hour for mine to get done and I broil it on low for 5 min at the end to crisp up the bacon. I heat it in the air fryer. I made both batches hoping to freeze some, but it hasn't lasted long enough yet... Thank you so much for making this. You have been so helpful to me on my keto/carnivore journey. I'd also note that you are looking so good on recent videos, good for you! Your humorous and positive attitude are infectious.
my ketchup glaze is 1/2 cup sugar free ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce... then as a substitute for corn syrup (that thickens up as you cook it, also add 1 teaspoon of Allulose, and a little xanthum gum. It is very similar to our family's original glaze (which is something like bbq sauce).
I think you've earned the right to call it a semi-weekly web series at this point with how much content you've been putting out in the past few months!
I made the 2nd recipe & all I tasted was oregano!😭WHY??? So I've got this lovely bacon wrapped loaf of meat, and don't want to eat it. So- I'm gna make some kind of tomato sauce to top it with. Because a meatloaf without tomato sauce/ketchup is NO meatloaf to me🥰👌
This is my 1st time watching you. Once was enough to subscribe, which is rare for me. Well presented and it looks absolutely delicious. I'll be trying both recipes, for sure.
Y'all, were making...., come on! Best opening ever :) We are always in for a treat. Thank you. Your videos make my day. I found you through Steve at Serious Keto. Wonderful!
Don't worry about the calories! Not a single cell in our body uses calories. Their value are determined by burning food in a lab. Not how we metabolize nutrients at all. Our meatloaf growing up had 2% evaporated milk in it. I started making it with cream. It had a brown sugar, ketchup, dry mustard glaze. It was so yummy.
@@my24soccer mine? Basically 1 1/2lb ground meat, some beef onion soup mix powder, some crushed corn flakes and some evaporated milk. I don’t follow the original recipe anymore, I never have cornflakes but if it’s a bit too damp I’ll crush some of my husband’s raisin bran flakes, or his crackers, or some Panko. I tried crushed pork rinds but kids didn’t like it. Topping was 3tbsp brown sugar and ketchup, and 1/4 tsp dried mustard powder. Put the glaze on in the last 10 minutes
I'm so glad you did this competition. I had gotten tired of trying to use Pork Panko in my meatloaf and having it dry as a bone! I tried the recipe with the Almond flour, but adding my "goodies" of garlic, parsley and sugar-free ketchup. The flour and parmesan made a perfect consistency - the meatloaf didn't fall apart and they imparted very little "non-meatloaf" flavors. Like others, I love the fact that your face tells it all when you taste-test the recipes. I always use the ones you like best and they never fail. Thank you, and keep on testing! BTW, I made a string bean casserole with your home-made "cream of mushroom soup" last Thanksgiving - it was OUTSTANDING!
Just tried the winning meat loaf tonight...we were knocked out by it! Best low carb meat loaf I've tried... wonderful flavor and texture. Can't believe how that heavy cream and just one egg managed to replace bread or cracker crumbs or oatmeal. Doesn't make sense,. It it works. And loved the technique of forming it in the loaf pan with plastic wrap, then bacon strips--flipped out to a baking dish perfectly. If you hadn't demonstrated this recipe I would not have tried it because of the cream. Thanks Wes!!
Wesley, my favorite thing about your videos. #1, I can listen to your southern twang all day. #2, your face when you have tasted your creation! No poker face for sure. And when you don't like it, we know you don't like it. Thanks for what you do!
Ok, first time commenting. Been referring people to your videos. I binge watched them during my 14 day water fast. It’s time now to break my fast! I’m doing carnivore now as I find better results than keto but keto is my lifestyle where carnivore is temporary- I highly recommend trying it! Thanks for all you are doing...I need to find that tip jar because you helped me get through the fast 😋
A cup of diced onion contains about 12-13 net carbs. When added to a dish like meat loaf, you are only getting maybe 2 carbs per serving from the onion.

I’ve always used lots of finely minced veggies🥕 in my meatloaf. About two to three times veggies as meat by volume not weight . I’ve used crushed (1/2”) pork rinds, dry oats, and cooked brown rice but soaked walnuts was my favorite breadcrumb substitute.( My old go to used to be boxed cornbread stuffing mix) . I put a base of crumpled foil on the bottom of a brownie pan or casserole dish to raise the loaf off of the bottom. I loosely cradle my raw loaf in foil and set atop the base then I poke drainage holes in the four corners and the top stays open for browning. The grease drains out of those holes and the loaf stays moist. I bake at 350 for an hour and then if glazing I add the sauce on top and add 1/2” of hot water to the pan. I add the water to create steam whether glazed or not . Then back in the oven until it looks and feels perfect. Another 30 min to an hour for my preference. If I don’t glaze then I make a separate gravy. Keep in mind my meatloaf is loaf pan size raw about 3”x4” raw size.
Took me two years but I made the bacon wrapped version last night. It was a hit! Thanks again for putting all of the work in testing for me! I mean us!
So glad you finally did meatloaf. I had been asking for a while now 👍 The Diet Dr recipe has become my go to since reading this. I add keto panko (pork rinds) which helps keep extra moist, sometimes I make a fancy bacon lattice, and frequently cook on the smoker! Outstanding, thanks much.
I really enjoy your channel and highly appreciate you testing these recipes. 😊 If I would make a meatloaf, I'd be eating it for days so it better be good. So your testing out these recipes is a godsend 😄 keep it up 👍
I look forward to seeing you and I miss you when you're away! You are truly a treasure! I just joined Thrive because of you. I'm so glad they endorse you. You can't imagine the things I've bought after watching every single one of your videos...I sincerely wish you got a kickback from each of them. I'm about to become a Patreon sponsor too!! Keep up what you're doing and know that you truly bring joy and a smile to me and others I'm sure. I'm making that bacon meatloaf this week..Thank you so much Wes...I appreciate YOU
When you really, really LOVE something your face shows it all!! Thanks for the great review..it's Fall weather in Chicago, 42 degrees right now, great for dinner tomorrow
I can’t wait to try this! Have to say though that mushroom duxelles straight up belong in meatloaf. I would never eat mushrooms by themselves but they give good umami.
Wes, your eyes tell the story without you saying a word. When you bit into the one with the bacon, your eyes widened a lot. I knew then that it is great. I sure enjoy watching you!
Love your videos, I haven’t watched them in awhile, but now I will! Forgot what quality content you have :-). Thanks for sharing this info on meatloaf. What I do for my meatloaf is crush (in a gallon Ziploc) 2 oz plain pork rinds with a rolling pin and use that in place of breadcrumbs. I also use shredded romano cheese. I’m encouraged to process my romano more now though and make it more “powdered” so it incorporates better. I also cook my meatloaf on a cookie sheet fitted with a baking rack so it is raised above the juices. My recommendation on making the meatloaf macros more “true”, just use a leaner ground beef or half fatty and half lean or even mix your 1 lb ground beef with 1 lb ground pork. A mixture of meat in meatloaf really enhances it.
Wow. I've never heard of heavy cream in a Meatloaf, nor any cheese other than parmasan. So, I'm shocked on this. Will try it the week. I'm a member of Diet Dr and Dr Fung is the King of KETO and intermittent fasting. I use his site for specific things.never really paid much attention to the recipes. Thank you for this presentation. Looking forward to more. I love your channel and have enjoyed it for about 3 years now 😀
I just found your channel. I would love to subscribe to ThriveMarket but, I checked and they do not have international shipping. But, Thank you. It's so good to have a friend who tests recipes.
This is my first time on your channel and I love this video! I was just planning on making meatloaf from a recipe from Nomnompaleo and I think I’ll have to try the heavy cream one too. Subscribed! You showed up in my recommended videos feed.
I have made the Diet Doctor recipe for Bacon Wrapped meatloaf many times. It is so wonderful. One time I didn’t have bacon so I just basted it with bacon grease...still turned out great!
I use italian 1# sausage 1# ground beef 1# lamb 1 c crushed spicy pork rinds 3/4 cup bacon bits 2 eggs Beaten 2 cloved minced garlic 1 small onion diced 1/2 diced bell pepper 1cup chopped mushrooms 2 table spoons Worcester sauce. Salt pepper 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1/4 cup heavy cream I mix with my fingers place in baking dish Makes 2 loaves
Thank you so much for you link and discount for Thrive. I now order monthly and love it. Commercial shredded cheese has potato starch on it to keep it from sticking. One of those foods that has hidden carbs.
Dude I found you recently. I became diabetic last year, after a decade of cancer meds. I just discovered, what I think is, the greatest keto “bread” recipe. Watching you do the “battles” is wonderful. So far I watch at least half of the Creators you have covered. The other half are great discoveries for me. I also really like your camera set ups & how you use them. You just really work for me. I appreciate ya, so very much.
Oh Wes... you did it again. This is how we choose to spend our Saturday night-watching you work your magic. Heavy cream in meatloaf?? Who knew?! We will be trying these for sure. I swear.. your faces at the end of your videos SLAY! To be perfectly honest, I have been struggling lately with staying on keto. This looks like a great way to get back on track. Thank you for inspiring us to keep moving forward. The struggle is real, and you just might have woken me up. ❤️👍
Oh I've missed you so! I have been away from the keto lifestyle for almost a year. Our family had a lot of heartache over the past year and I just crawled into my carb induced feels and I didn't just go off the rails, I drove that wagon into the ditch. I decided a few weeks ago that I am done being sad and mad and all of that. SO you are my first stop back in the keto life! Reboot time!
I came across your channel by complete accident and I am HOOKED! I love it. I love your energy, your personality and the content you provide. Thank you for doing what you do. I really like the way you try out recipes and your reactions to the food are so cute, they remind me of me, when it's good you just can't help but react in a genuine fashion. I have been on & off Keto too much this past year, it's been a struggle mostly due to the loss of my son to start the year out in January, then Covid, then a relationship ending due to his military transfer across country and now my father is nearing the end of his days. I could have given up and I sort of did by self medicating with social alcohol at times to forget, or not feel, which was also halting my Keto results. But I finally got my head out of my @*#, and now have quit smoking, drinking and my Keto has taken off!! I am so pumped now, I feel so good and even proud and know my goal is in sight. It's people like you who are getting me through. Sorry for the book... but I wanted you to know you've been an inspiration! Thank you so much! Keep up the excellent work!
I hope you’re doing well Carla, sorry to hear how much you were going through at once. Regarding keto, just remember how good keto FEELS, that’s what’s helping me stick to it again. It’s a lifestyle, not a diet. ❤️
I love your videos, first time commenter here! I have made quite a few of the recipes you have tried and I am going too try both of these, thank you for what do!
Thank you for your review. I am a Diet Doctor fan. I started Keto by way of his 30-day challenge. I lost approximately five inches off of my waist in about eight weeks. Since then, I use his delicious recipes as part of my lifestyle. I am going to make the bacon-wrapped meatloaf this weekend. Thank you for your teaching moment. I did not know that onions and onion powder contained carbohydrates! I will now ease back on the onions. Again, thank you.
Let me know if you try one of these! I remember growing up, the joke was always “ugh, mom made meatloaf again” but I LOVED meatloaf nights! (Who am I kidding, I loved dinner time EVERY night. LOL!) 😜😜
I found it really interesting to see such different ways to make a meatloaf. I hadn’t heard of people putting glazes or adding dairy to their meat loaves before, I may try out some different sauces for a glaze on my next one (I don’t like ketchup, so it’ll probably be a hot-sauce base). I started to use finely chopped and then seasoned tofu as a binder in my meat loaves a few years ago, and I found that it worked well. The key is to let the tofu dry out a bit before adding in to the loaf so that it doesn’t add too much moisture (this can be done while you let the seasoning absorb into the tofu). I’ve used bacon wraps on my loaves in the past before, and what I found works well is to weave the strips together before lining the pan and extend it to cover 4 of the 6 sides - it keeps the strips together nicely, and it has the added benefit where as it cooks and shrinks, it compresses the loaf together so that the resulting loaf is nice and dense, you just need to make sure to do periodic draining out of the fat because it generates a lot.
Italians have always added a little whole milk to their meatloaf and meatballs to add extra moisture when some of the fat melts away from the meat. They also add actual bread pieces instead of breadcrumbs for softer texture.
I made mug bread for the recipe and soaked the bread with plant bases oat milk! I added two eggs grated parmigiano 1/4 tsp of chilli 1/4tsp oregano 1/4 tsp garlic powder! A dash of Worcester mix together with sautéed onion and garlic! Add the turkey and pork mince, mix the contents together, shape the meatloaf, put 3 boiled eggs in the middle of the meatloaf Cover with the rest of the meat! Spoon over the pasta sauce! Bake in the oven for 55 minutes at 160 temperature!
I haven't made a meatloaf in 25 years, but am pretty sure I used to form a loaf and baked it on a rack on a sheet pan. Going to find my favorite recipe and try to tweet it to be lower carb. Thank you for posting!
I like taking meatloaf mix, adding seasoning salt, forming hamburger patties, freeze for about 20 minutes then throw on the grill to use as hamburgers.
I don't know how you do it, but every time I menu plan I end up seeing your video in my feed of something I have planned for the week! Thank you for the tips for tomorrow's meatloaf dinner!

Fair warning to those living outside of the contiguous lower 48 states: Thrive doesn't deliver to either Alaska or Hawaii. I was very disappointed.
I find Thrive sooooo expensive-how is it suppose to be cheaper? What am I missing?
Wished they shipped to Canada!

I mix my meatloaf with a big 2-prong fork. Works great.
Wow! Thanks
I just love your expressions when you really like something.
U know its good when u don't hear anything after his first bite 😆
😂

@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial funny, I do the same thing lol.

David Herman haha me too. 😂
Glad I'm not the only one :)
I know right😅
Wes, nobody else has ever mentioned that overworking ground beef makes it tough - thank you for making me smarter!
Made the bacon wrapped meatloaf and didn't use the gravy, but brushed on a little sugar free BBQ sauce for the last 15 min. Delish!
Man you are so entertaining to watch. Love what you do. I really respect how you give the recipe creators all the credit. Keep up the great work!!
I just love it when you're having a food 'moment'.

Great work Wes, I know this is an older video but I'm newish to Keto & fully appreciate your efforts. Regards from Australia.
I could practically hear you purring as you tasted the bacon wrapped loaf! Think the glazed one would make good sandwiches on low carb bread/wraps.

Your reactions when you take the first bite is gold!
I’m going to try the bacon wrapped version, but glaze with ketchup! Got to have that ketchup on my meatloaf!

Keep up what you're doing and know that you truly bring joy and a smile to me and others I'm sure. I'm making that bacon meatloaf this week..Thank you so much Wes...I appreciate YOU
It’s so entertaining to watch you cook and taste these recipes. You make it fun! Great video once again.
Yummm! To both! Your face after taking a bite of the second loaf said it all😋🥰❣️
I appreciate your honesty. It's rare these days.
When you really, really LOVE something your face shows it all!! Thanks for the great review..it's Fall weather in Chicago, 42 degrees right now, great for dinner tomorrow
I can’t wait to try this! Have to say though that mushroom duxelles straight up belong in meatloaf. I would never eat mushrooms by themselves but they give good umami.
Excellent presentation
I’m so ready to make the bacon wrapped meatloaf with the gravy and some cauliflower mash
Thank you Wes
The one with bacon can be placed in small baking pan that comes with a baking rack; like the ones for turkeys, just a thought
Wes, your eyes tell the story without you saying a word. When you bit into the one with the bacon, your eyes widened a lot. I knew then that it is great. I sure enjoy watching you!
Thank you for pointing out the possibility of discrepancies regarding fat and serving sizes.
Love your videos, I haven’t watched them in awhile, but now I will! Forgot what quality content you have :-). Thanks for sharing this info on meatloaf.
What I do for my meatloaf is crush (in a gallon Ziploc) 2 oz plain pork rinds with a rolling pin and use that in place of breadcrumbs.
I also use shredded romano cheese. I’m encouraged to process my romano more now though and make it more “powdered” so it incorporates better.
I also cook my meatloaf on a cookie sheet fitted with a baking rack so it is raised above the juices.
My recommendation on making the meatloaf macros more “true”, just use a leaner ground beef or half fatty and half lean or even mix your 1 lb ground beef with 1 lb ground pork. A mixture of meat in meatloaf really enhances it.
Wow. I've never heard of heavy cream in a Meatloaf, nor any cheese other than parmasan. So, I'm shocked on this. Will try it the week. I'm a member of Diet Dr and Dr Fung is the King of KETO and intermittent fasting. I use his site for specific things.never really paid much attention to the recipes. Thank you for this presentation. Looking forward to more. I love your channel and have enjoyed it for about 3 years now 😀
Lol, that look when he tried the bacon wrapped meatloaf...love it
glad you're safe from the hurricanes! was thinking of you. always good to see you and your videos!!
wow!!! just made the bacon wrapped Meatloaf ! so good its probably illegal lol
I love your facial expressions when you try something really good! Great video. :)
I just found your channel. I would love to subscribe to ThriveMarket but, I checked and they do not have international shipping. But, Thank you. It's so good to have a friend who tests recipes.
This is my first time on your channel and I love this video! I was just planning on making meatloaf from a recipe from
Nomnompaleo and I think I’ll have to try the heavy cream one too. Subscribed! You showed up in my recommended videos feed.
I’m living for “sift, y’all”!
Love watching your videos! I can’t wait to try the bacon wrapped meatloaf! I love your tasting expressions and enjoy your humor!
I have made the Diet Doctor recipe for Bacon Wrapped meatloaf many times. It is so wonderful. One time I didn’t have bacon so I just basted it with bacon grease...still turned out great!
I use italian 1# sausage 1# ground beef 1# lamb
1 c crushed spicy pork rinds
3/4 cup bacon bits
2 eggs Beaten
2 cloved minced garlic
1 small onion diced
1/2 diced bell pepper
1cup chopped mushrooms
2 table spoons Worcester sauce. Salt pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 cup heavy cream
I mix with my fingers place in baking dish
Makes 2 loaves
Thank you so much for you link and discount for Thrive. I now order monthly and love it.
Commercial shredded cheese has potato starch on it to keep it from sticking. One of those foods that has hidden carbs.
lol. His eyes after that first bite into the second one said it all !!!
My mouth was watering by the end of that video, that’s dinner sorted for tomorrow. Thanks for the share, you make my keto journey so much easier.
Dude I found you recently.
I became diabetic last year, after a decade of cancer meds.
I just discovered, what I think is, the greatest keto “bread” recipe.
Watching you do the “battles” is wonderful. So far I watch at least half of the Creators you have covered. The other half are great discoveries for me.
I also really like your camera set ups & how you use them.
You just really work for me.
I appreciate ya, so very much.
Oh Wes... you did it again. This is how we choose to spend our Saturday night-watching you work your magic. Heavy cream in meatloaf?? Who knew?! We will be trying these for sure. I swear.. your faces at the end of your videos SLAY! To be perfectly honest, I have been struggling lately with staying on keto. This looks like a great way to get back on track. Thank you for inspiring us to keep moving forward. The struggle is real, and you just might have woken me up. ❤️👍
Oh I've missed you so! I have been away from the keto lifestyle for almost a year. Our family had a lot of heartache over the past year and I just crawled into my carb induced feels and I didn't just go off the rails, I drove that wagon into the ditch. I decided a few weeks ago that I am done being sad and mad and all of that. SO you are my first stop back in the keto life! Reboot time!
Had to make this again.
I made thar gravy but cooked Brussel sprouts in it.
Woooooow
Omiword , if you broiled them to carmelize them first?! Thank you for this idea!
I was just thinking about meatloaf today and this pops up. Thanks. 😀
I actually prefer my meatloaf well blended to have that dense texture. But to each his own! Looks great!! 😁
I like the video before I watch the whole thing because when you start talking, I'm reminded how much I love you :)
I came across your channel by complete accident and I am HOOKED! I love it. I love your energy, your personality and the content you provide. Thank you for doing what you do. I really like the way you try out recipes and your reactions to the food are so cute, they remind me of me, when it's good you just can't help but react in a genuine fashion. I have been on & off Keto too much this past year, it's been a struggle mostly due to the loss of my son to start the year out in January, then Covid, then a relationship ending due to his military transfer across country and now my father is nearing the end of his days. I could have given up and I sort of did by self medicating with social alcohol at times to forget, or not feel, which was also halting my Keto results. But I finally got my head out of my @*#, and now have quit smoking, drinking and my Keto has taken off!! I am so pumped now, I feel so good and even proud and know my goal is in sight. It's people like you who are getting me through. Sorry for the book... but I wanted you to know you've been an inspiration! Thank you so much! Keep up the excellent work!
I hope you’re doing well Carla, sorry to hear how much you were going through at once.
Regarding keto, just remember how good keto FEELS, that’s what’s helping me stick to it again. It’s a lifestyle, not a diet. ❤️
You are the best. KEEP SAYING Y'ALL. MAKES ME SMILE
Love this video. Thanks for testing these out. I love meatloaf sandwiches.
Made a combination of both tonight...bacon one with no bacon but sugar free ketchup on top and it was soooo good! Thank you !
So much FUN!! Thanks I will be doing this soon!!
I love your videos, first time commenter here! I have made quite a few of the recipes you have tried and I am going too try both of these, thank you for what do!
I'm on Carnivore , and the bacon one is a winner in my book, can't wait to try it.
I love how your eyes get big when your eating something good..
Love your show
Highly recommend the interviews on Diet Doctor.
Thank you for your review. I am a Diet Doctor fan. I started Keto by way of his 30-day challenge. I lost approximately five inches off of my waist in about eight weeks. Since then, I use his delicious recipes as part of my lifestyle. I am going to make the bacon-wrapped meatloaf this weekend. Thank you for your teaching moment. I did not know that onions and onion powder contained carbohydrates! I will now ease back on the onions. Again, thank you.
I love your cookbook collection in the back there!!! You could always do head to head "Vs recipes" with those 😋
Dude! You’ve got me craving meatloaf!!
Let me know if you try one of these! I remember growing up, the joke was always “ugh, mom made meatloaf again” but I LOVED meatloaf nights! (Who am I kidding, I loved dinner time EVERY night. LOL!) 😜😜
Highfalutin' Low Carb me too Wes! I loved my mama’s meatloaf... I think I’m gonna try the bacon-wrapped one. You had me at heavy cream 🤣
Ikr. Meatloaf is not something I grew up on but the bacon wrapped one looks darn good.
DUDE! I just made the second meatloaf...
O M G!!! I made garlic roasted Brussel sprouts to go with it.... YUMMILICIOUS!
YAY! (Save some for meeee!) 🙂
I found it really interesting to see such different ways to make a meatloaf. I hadn’t heard of people putting glazes or adding dairy to their meat loaves before, I may try out some different sauces for a glaze on my next one (I don’t like ketchup, so it’ll probably be a hot-sauce base). I started to use finely chopped and then seasoned tofu as a binder in my meat loaves a few years ago, and I found that it worked well. The key is to let the tofu dry out a bit before adding in to the loaf so that it doesn’t add too much moisture (this can be done while you let the seasoning absorb into the tofu). I’ve used bacon wraps on my loaves in the past before, and what I found works well is to weave the strips together before lining the pan and extend it to cover 4 of the 6 sides - it keeps the strips together nicely, and it has the added benefit where as it cooks and shrinks, it compresses the loaf together so that the resulting loaf is nice and dense, you just need to make sure to do periodic draining out of the fat because it generates a lot.
Italians have always added a little whole milk to their meatloaf and meatballs to add extra moisture when some of the fat melts away from the meat. They also add actual bread pieces instead of breadcrumbs for softer texture.
Wes, just makes me so happy to see your videos! Thank you for the best videos on RUclips.
A gold whisk and spatula? Going fancy! Nice!
I made the second one today
O M G it's wonderful and the gravy
Thankyou
K from UK 🇬🇧
Always look forward to your videos Wes. Thank you for keeping it real!
Thank you as always, Robin! ❤️🙂
I made mug bread for the recipe and soaked the bread with plant bases oat milk! I added two eggs grated
parmigiano 1/4 tsp of chilli 1/4tsp oregano 1/4 tsp garlic powder!
A dash of Worcester mix together with sautéed onion and garlic! Add the turkey and pork mince, mix the contents together,
shape the meatloaf, put 3 boiled eggs in the middle of the meatloaf
Cover with the rest of the meat! Spoon over the pasta sauce! Bake in the oven for 55 minutes at 160 temperature!
You need to let the meat loaf stand for 15 minutes before carving!
I haven't made a meatloaf in 25 years, but am pretty sure I used to form a loaf and baked it on a rack on a sheet pan. Going to find my favorite recipe and try to tweet it to be lower carb. Thank you for posting!
I like taking meatloaf mix, adding seasoning salt, forming hamburger patties, freeze for about 20 minutes then throw on the grill to use as hamburgers.
Wes, it’s so great seeing you again. I love this video and cannot wait to try both of them. And I must say I love your new kitchen! ❤️
I don't know how you do it, but every time I menu plan I end up seeing your video in my feed of something I have planned for the week! Thank you for the tips for tomorrow's meatloaf dinner!
Yeah! Thank you, thank you.
Yay, another video coming shortly. I love meatloaf so thanks for this one!
