Paleo Meatloaf

Paleo Meatloaf made with almond flour
This yummy recipe is great in both its nutritional content and its versatility. You can make it with beef, turkey, lamb, camel or whatever (I seriously saw ground camel at the store the other day so why not?) and while I like bell pepper and onion in the dish, you can add/substitute poblano pepper, spinach, leek, or whatever you like. It's the savory and slow heat that make the dish, so whatever you have thawed and ready to go will work.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 - 2 lbs of ground beef or ground meat of choice
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 onion, diced small
  • 1 bell pepper, diced small
  • chili powder
  • black pepper
  • paprika
  • oregano
  • thyme
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • olive oil in which to saute vegetables


    Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350º F
  2. Slice garlic and then smash it with the flat of the blade of the knife, then toss it in a large frying pan with your olive oil and saute for a few minutes
  3. Sauté onions and peppers (or your veggies of choice) until just barely tender
  4. Remove veggies from heat and place in a different dish to stop them continuing to cook
  5. Put uncooked ground beef in a large bowl and add the eggs and almond flour
  6. Once those are mixed, add the vegetables into the meat and re-mix
  7. Grease 4 mini loaf pans (perfect portion size for filling dinners or lunches), 2 small loaf pans, or 1 regular loaf pan with butter or olive or coconut oil, and scoop your mixture into the pan(s)
  8. Cover the pan(s) with tin foil and cook 35-40 mins in mini loaf pans, 50 mins in small loaf pans, or 65 minutes in a regular loaf pan
  9. Remove from oven and allow to set for about 10 minutes before slicing


PictureI have no theory why these two loaves cooked alongside each other came our different colors. Life is interesting.
10. Add paleo BBQ sauce or munch as it. The loaf/loaves will be juicy and tender so no need for sauce, plus it might cover up the slow heat that comes in this dish

Makes 4 hearty meals, especially if served alongside some mixed greens

Thanks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
