Paleo Meatloaf

I'm going to go ahead and say that this is my favorite paleo recipe. There are so many things I craved, especially when just getting started. It's not easy to stick to lean meat and veggies all the time. If you find yourself craving something hearty and filling - this is the ticket.

It's from CIVILIZED CAVEMAN. He's showing it below with an egg on top as breakfast. I made mine with his recipe for "Beasty BBQ Sauce", which was sooo good. If you wanted, you could make it dry with the sauce on the side and have it both ways!

Paleo Meatloaf

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 50 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Almond Flour
• 1 Lb Grass Fed Ground Beef
• 1/3 Cup Coconut Milk
• 2 Cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 Carrots, minced
• 1/2 Onion, minced
• 1 Zucchini, minced (I hate zucchini so I left this out)
• 1 Egg
• 3-4 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Process:

 

Note: I lazy-chopped all of my veggies in the mini-chopper for ease.

1. Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees F
2. Combine your almond flour and coconut milk in a bowl and mix well
3. Heat a saute pan on medium heat and saute your onions, carrots, and zucchini stirring often until cooked.
4. With about a minute left of sauteing add in your garlic
5. Take your sauteed vegetables and combine them in the bowl with the almond flour and coconut milk
6. Add in your grass fed ground beef, egg, italian seasoning, and salt and pepper and using your hands mix well
7. Place your loaf in a greased loaf pan
8. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes

"Beasty BBQ Sauce"

Servings: Makes 4 Cups
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 60 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 Tomatoes, Diced
• 1 White Onion, Diced
• 4 Cloves of garlic, Diced
• 1 6 Ounce can of Tomato Paste
• 1 Cup Beef Stock
• 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 Tbsp Sweet Paprika
• 1 Tsp Sea Salt
• 1 Tsp Cayenne
• For sweetness add 1 Can of diced pineapple (I didn't do this and it was plenty sweet)

Process:

 

Note: I only simmered mine for 30 minutes and it was great.

1. Combine all ingredients above in a sauce pan and place on stove over medium heat stirring frequently
2. Once your sauce starts to boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes
3. Once your sauce has simmered, turn off the heat and pour your sauce into a blender or food processor and run until you get a nice smooth sauce consistency
