The carnivore meatloaf goes in the oven without a breadcrumb in it. Breadcrumbs were arithmetic. A kilo of mince feeds four. A kilo of mince with a cup of breadcrumbs and a splash of milk feeds six, and that was the entire point of them. Nobody told your mother when the budget lifted. What the extenders are actually doing: - Breadcrumbs: bulk, sold to you as texture. - Porridge oats: bulk, with a health halo on. - Milk-soaked bread: bulk, wet. - Crushed crackers: bulk, salted. - Ketchup glaze: sugar in a party hat. Pull all that out and change nothing else and you get a dry crumbling brick, which is why most people try once and go back. The filler was holding the water, so you replace the job and leave the ingredient out. The carnivore meatloaf: - 1kg beef mince, 20% fat minimum. - 2 eggs. The structure. - 100g cheddar. The moisture. - 40g parmesan. The backbone. - 200g streaky bacon, latticed over the top. - Salt. The bacon does the basting as it renders, which is the job the ketchup was pretending to do. 180C fan, fifty to sixty minutes, pull it at 71C, rest it ten before a knife goes near it. Four servings, 820 calories a slice, and none of the extra inflammation. Your mother did that arithmetic because she had to.The carnivore meatloaf goes in the oven without a breadcrumb in it.
