Keto Meatloaf Muffins are a convenient, flavorful option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This simple recipe turns classic meatloaf into individual portions, each wrapped in a slice of bacon for a smoky, rich taste that’s perfect for busy mornings or a quick grab-and-go meal.
As a busy parent, I value meals that can be prepared ahead of time. These muffins can be made in advance, reheated, and eaten in the car or at your desk. They’re especially handy for hectic mornings, and they’re a hit with kids who already love meatloaf.
How long do I cook meatloaf?
Bake meatloaf at 350°F (175°C) for about 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). For smaller portions like muffins, reduce the cooking time accordingly and check temperature to ensure doneness.
What to serve with meatloaf?
Traditionally, meatloaf pairs well with mashed potatoes and a rich gravy. For a variation, try creamy scalloped potatoes or a fresh green vegetable to balance the richness of the meat and bacon.
These Keto Meatloaf Muffins are a favorite way to enjoy a classic dish with extra bacon flavor. They’re versatile—serve them for breakfast (yes, with bacon!), lunch, or dinner and they make meal prep effortless.
Happy low-carbing!

Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Lean ground beef (use only lean ground beef)
- 12 pcs Bacon
- 1/4 tsp Seasoning salt
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 clove Pressed garlic (1–2 cloves to taste)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 tsp BBQ rub (mix of choice)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup Finely grated onion
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cut bacon slices to fit and line each muffin cup. Make sure bacon edges do not extend above the muffin tin rim.
-
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, seasoning salt, cheese, garlic, BBQ rub, Worcestershire and grated onion. Mix until well combined.
-
Add the ground beef and gently fold into the mixture. Avoid over-mixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
-
Divide the meat mixture into the prepared cups, about 1/4 cup per muffin, and press flat. Keep the mixture at or below the top of the tin to prevent drips. Place a sheet pan on the rack below if you’re concerned about drippings.
