Many of my readers tell me all the time that they want to eat organ meats but they are intimidated and don’t know how to cook them. They want all the nutrients of organ meats but don’t know how to make them taste good. Well good news! Jones Dairy Farm Braunschweiger has the answer and they make products that help us push that easy button when it comes to easy and healthy family meals.

For this recipe, I used Jones Dairy Farm Liver Sausage Chunk. This tasty Braunschweiger is seasoned up perfectly to smooth over the liver flavor and has the right balance of fats and proteins, perfect for your keto or carnivore diet. Also it is low carb and gluten free which will make it fit into any healthy lifestyle. Even kids love liver sausage! I took some over to my nephews and fried it up for them and they had it in the morning with their scrambled eggs.

Braunschweiger is so versatile, that makes it easy to add to keto recipes. My dad and sister love meatloaf so I had the idea to make hidden liver sausage meatloaf for them. I just cut up the Liver Sausage Chunk and mixed it with eggs then combined it with ground beef, cheese, and spices to make a savory and delicious keto meatloaf recipe. No one in my family even noticed that there was any liver because the flavors meld so well with the garlic and Italian seasoning I used.

It is wonderful to feel good about what I am feeding my husband and extended family. It feels like getting a gold star to make something nutritious and delicious like this keto meatloaf recipe with Braunschweiger.
