I'm new and I think I'm DIRTY!

Mother of God. What is the recipe for a bacon/ranch meatloaf!?!

[birddog27]

I was afraid you were going to ask that… I don’t follow recipes when I make meatloaf. But I can tell you what went in it and approximates.

I made a lot, probably 6-7 pounds. This was for 2 full sized loafs plus 6 fat patties I froze for later.

I added 2-3 tablespoons of powdered ranch dressing mix, 2-3 tablespoons of parmesan, garlic powder, salt pepper, 2-3 tablespoons of dried onions (I was out of fresh), a large handful of bacon crumbles and a bag of frozen spinach (steam, let cool and squeeze out the water).

After it’s all mixed, here is the trick. Take a spoonful of the mix and fry it in a pan to taste - this ensures you have enough seasoning and you like the flavors before cooking the loafs. Mine needed just a touch more salt, so it was perfect. And no sauce needed - it was really good.

Well… I gave it my best hand, we will see how it turns out tomorrow

If you think a “brat” makes you feel dirty wait until you try one of Brenda’s keto “pancake/waffles”. The things are freaking great. They are made from crushed pork rinds! The women is a genus.

I would suggest if you ever make them don’t eat a whole one. If you do you won’t want to eat for a day or two. I made the mistake of eating a whole one (yes just one pancake) and I’m still full from the other day. The thing is, once you are properly keto adapted you will find yourself unable to consume energy dense fatty foods in quanties anywhere near your eating habits of their carb based analogs.

Link to those waffles, please? or at least how to make them…

I think it can differ from person to person how many of those pancakes a person can eat
Especially as I ate the whole batch and was very satisfied but then could eat again at dinner

But also note that I used Cracklins instead of pork rinds, and those have a higher fat content and lower protein… And I seem to be able to consume ‘endless’ amounts of fat, just because I find it so delicious

the link, and remember pork rinds and cracklins are different

PORK RIND PANCAKES!(OR WAFFLES!) (you're welcome)

Pork Rind Pancakes [image] You won’t believe how close the texture is to traditional pancakes. And you cannot taste the pork rind flavor at all! If you do not try these, you are missing out. This ENTIRE recipe has 3 GRAMS CARBOHYDRATE. This makes 3 large pancakes :zornface: INGREDIENTS: 1 cup crushed pork rinds about 1.5 ounces. Not dust but crushed like coarse bread crumbs 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream 2 large beaten eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon cinnamon INSTRUCTION…
