Ingredients:

2 lb ground beef(90%/10%)
910g
3 egg whites
100g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
3 garlic cloves
9g
2 cups shiitake mushrooms
440g
1 onion
110g
1 tbsp dried parsley
1.60g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
8 tbsp tomato sauce
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Finely chop the onion and shiitake mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions become translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the chopped shiitake mushrooms and cook until they are soft and most of their moisture has evaporated (another 4-5 minutes).
- Set aside the sautéed vegetables to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg whites, black pepper, dried parsley, and the cooled sautéed vegetables.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf tough.
5. Form the Meatloaf:
- Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the meat mixture into the loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to ensure it holds together.
6. Add Tomato Sauce:
- Spread the 8 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
7. Bake the Meatloaf:
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
8. Let It Rest:
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the loaf.
9. Serve:
- Slice the meatloaf and serve warm. It pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.

Tips:

- Finely chop the shiitake mushrooms and onions to ensure they cook evenly and blend well into the meatloaf mixture.

- For an extra moisture, sauté the mushrooms and onions in olive oil before adding them to the meat mixture.

- Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven to allow the juices to redistribute.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.

- Consider adding a bit of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor without significantly increasing the carb content.

This Keto-friendly Shiitake Mushroom and Beef Meatloaf is a nutritious, flavorful, and satisfying dish that fits well into any low-carb or ketogenic diet. By following these tips and the recipe steps, you’ll create a meatloaf that is both moist and bursting with flavor. Enjoy this guilt-free, wholesome meal with your loved ones!
