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!

Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon coconut oil
¾ cup diced carrots
¾ cup diced onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup lightly packed fresh spinach leaves
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large pinch chopped fresh thyme
1 large pinch chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ⅔ pounds lean ground beef
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 slices bacon, cut into 10 pieces

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:

  • Choose the right ground meat. Lean ground beef is a classic choice, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken, or pork.
  • Season the meatloaf well. A good blend of spices will help to flavor the meatloaf and make it more enjoyable to eat.
  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf. This will help to add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Paleo mini meatloaves are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a classic comfort food. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are following a paleo diet or not, these mini meatloaves are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
