Grass-fed Beef Meatloaf

Meatloaf is a low-effort/high reward meal.  It is affordable, tasty, easy, and a crowd favorite.   I have replaced the typical breadcrumbs with almond flour and the result is just as amazing as it’s less-healthy counterpart.

It is amazing served with mashed cauliflower, roasted tomatoes.  Also pictured here is a slice of grilled halloumi cheese (Greek sheep’s milk cheese).

Grass Fed Beef Meatloaf – shown here with mashed cauliflower, roasted tomatoes, and grilled Halloumi cheese.

2 pounds grass-fed ground beef
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 small onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 organic eggs
1/3 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons sugarless ketchup (I use Primal Kitchen) or make your own (see below)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  In a non-toxic skillet, sauté the onions in the coconut oil until soft then add the garlic and heat for a minute more.  In a large bowl, combine the beef, eggs, almond flour, 3 tablespoons ketchup, cooked onion/garlic, salt, mustard, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until combined (be sure not to overmix as it will make the meat tough). Transfer the meat mixture to a 9 x 5 loaf pan and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove and spread another 1/3 cup ketchup over the top of the loaf and continue baking for 40-45 more minutes until center is cooked. Allow the loaf to rest for 10 minutes or so before slicing and serving.
To make your own ketchup:

6 ounces organic tomato paste
2-3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For some extra sweetness, add 2-3 soaked dates (core plan only)

Add everything to a high powered blender or food processor and mix thoroughly.
