Steps:
- Crack the egg, mix it up a bit, and add the elk. Stir together.
- Cut the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic into large chunks. Put them all together in a food processor, and pulse until they are in small, even pieces. (Don't let them turn into mush!).
- Add the cut vegetables to the meat, and the rosemary, pepper, oil, and ketchup. Mix it all up, using your hands is the best way to ensure an even mix.
- Form into a loaf and put into a loaf pan.
- Bake at 350 for approximately an hour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F

- Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for about 90 minutes or internal temperature reaches 165°.
- Note: Game meats are notoriously low in fat. Using the ground pork will help make a moister meatloaf.

PALEO MINI MEATLOAVES
Gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, these little meat loaves are delicious, even without ketchup! After pureeing the vegetables, use a wooden spoon to help combine with the meat. I find that if the meat is right out of the refrigerator it will cool the vegetables down enough to handle fairly soon. Don't add the egg to hot vegetable puree or it will cook!

Steps:
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots and onion in hot oil until slightly softened, 3 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, spinach, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Puree vegetable mixture using a stick blender until smooth. Alternatively, pour vegetable mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
- Mix pureed vegetables, ground beef, and egg together in a bowl with your hands until evenly combined. Divide meat mixture into 10 equal portions; form each into a mini-loaf and place on prepared baking sheet. Place 1 bacon piece on top of each loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips for Making the Best Paleo Elk Meatloaf:
- Use high-quality elk meat. The better the quality of the meat, the better the meatloaf will be.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the meatloaf mixture. This will add flavor and texture.
- Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven. This will help it cook evenly.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.

Paleo elk meatloaf is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, this meatloaf is a great way to get a nutritious meal on the table.
