For many years my family has cooked the classic meatloaf recipe that my grandfather Jason always made. He got it off the back of an oatmeal canister if I recall correctly. I’ve always loved meatloaf but hadn’t made it too much in the last couple of years because it’s full of oatmeal (grains) and canned milk (dairy) – two things I now try to steer clear of.<\/p>\n

Anyway, so since January I’ve been trying to come up with a clean recipe that would essentially taste the same and I’ve finally hit on it. Recently I wanted meatloaf but didn’t want to wait an hour plus for it to bake in the oven so I formed it into patties and cooked them on the stove. The recipe wound up being very similar to my turkey burgers recipe<\/a>. Recipe below plus notes on how to adapt for regular meatloaf.<\/p>\n

CLEAN MEATLOAF BURGERS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 lb 80\/20 Ground Beef (can use any type but 80\/20 is more tasty)<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup finely chopped onion<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup almond flour<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup almond milk<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp salt<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 tsp pepper<\/li>\n
  • 1 egg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Combine all ingredients together in the large non-stick pan you will use for frying (this saves on messing up another bowl to clean later). Make sure all ingredients have been thoroughly combined, then form into 4-6 patties depending on how big you make them. Fry on either side for about 6 minutes each until patties reach 160\u00b0 F internally.<\/p>\n

    For a classic meatloaf:<\/strong> Add 1\/4 cup additional almond milk to ingredients, combine thoroughly, then press into meatloaf pan (or shape into meatloaf in 9″x 13″ pan), cook for 60-75 minutes in pre-heated 350\u00b0 F oven until temperature reaches 160\u00b0 F internally. Remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes, slice and enjoy.<\/p>\n

    Goes great with:<\/strong> Whole30 mayo, marinated onions, ketchup. We often pair meatloaf with “Jason Noodles”, which is medium egg noodles seasoned with butter, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, and garlic powder to taste. Note that this option is not compliant under Whole30 or Paleo guidelines, lol. Doesn’t stop me from enjoying it from time to time though!<\/p>\n
