Description

Healthy Meatloaf: A healthy meatloaf recipe that is Whole30/Paleo and Dairy-Free! A tried and true recipe your family will LOVE!

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (if you aren’t worried about Whole30/Paleo you can use 1/2 cup oats instead)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/23/4 cup diced yellow onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Mix: Add all ingredients into medium mixing bowl and mix thoroughly (I usually just use my hands) until well-combined.
  3. Bread Pan: Place mixture in bread pan, making sure it is evenly spread out.
  4. Seasoning: Sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper on top for a little “crust” (optional).
  5. Bake: Bake for 1.5 hours.
  6. Cool: Let cool slightly before transferring to plate and cutting into thick pieces with a sharp knife.
  7. Serve: Serve with ketchup or BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • Ground Beef/Ground Pork: if you don’t have ground pork you can just use 1.5lbs total of ground beef)
  • Spraying Bread Pan Beforehand: You don’t need to spray your bread pan before use, there is enough fat in the meat that it doesn’t end up sticking.  But if you want to it doesn’t hurt.
  • Almond Flour Substitution: Feel free to use oats instead of the almond flour. It will no longer be Whole30/Paleo but it will still be gluten-free (just make sure oats are certified gluten-free) and just as healthy!
  • What to serve with it: We usually put some ketchup or BBQ sauce on top of the meatloaf and then also serving it with some steamed broccoli and baked potato!
  • How to store it: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.  It makes really good leftovers!!
  • Smoked: if you want to try a smoked version of this recipe – here you go!
