Low Carb, Breadless Meaty Loaf

Submitted by qtcristyme

"This low-carb. option is delicious and pairs great with a vegetable side dish for dinner tonight! Made with hard boiled egg and ground-up pork rinds (I actually hate them by themselves) instead of bread or crackers makes this high in protein while avoiding the carbs that bread would add. My husband loved it and ate half the loaf when I last made it!"
