Keto Jalapeño Popper Meatloaf with Bacon!

Man oh man do I love this keto jalapeño popper meatloaf, I mean what’s not to love? Meat, cheese and jalapeño’s are a nearly perfect trifecta, right up there with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

But seriously this meatloaf is especially delicious with a side of Brussels sprouts or charred broccoli… or both!

I recently ran a reader survey to see what you guys wanted to see more of on Cast Iron Keto. One question asks “What would make CIK better, in your opinion?”, and I was kinda caught off guard when not one, but multiple response can in saying “less vegetables”.

Well, I’m not your mother and I’m not going to force you to eat your veggies, but c’mon… I think we all can agree veggies are one of the most important things to eat for your health, even on keto. But for those of you who aren’t huge veggie fans, this recipe’s for you!

I respect the fact that we all keto (yes I used “keto” as a verb right there) differently, but if you are new to keto or have the desire to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, I have included links to three great articles on the subject below.
