I must admit, whenever my husband requests meatloaf for dinner I usually don’t jump at the idea. I hated meatloaf growing up. Whenever my mom made it I cried inside. It’s funny how our taste buds change over time. Although I sometimes don’t love the idea of meatloaf for dinner, I never regret it. There is something about the onion and tomato flavor that is so good!
Meatloaf is almost impossible to screw up. I think that is one of the reasons I love it so much. Add in any extra veggies you have on hand- bell peppers, zuchinni, carrots, etc. They would all be great in this recipe as well.
Not only is this a Paleo Version of Meatloaf, but it is also Whole 30 compliant. Yea!! Especially since I am currently doing the Whole 30 challenge!

Thoughts on how much and how to incorporate zucchini? I have some to use up
I wouldn’t recommend adding too much, maybe 1/2 cup is all. Too much and you’ll have a liquid mess.
Any thought on how to convert to Instant Pot?
I would put it in a foil made bowl(to catch the grease) on top of the wire stand the Instant pot comes with. Add at least a cup of water and cook on high pressure about 25 minutes.
Do you happen to know a good oats to almond flour ratio? This recipe is very similar to my mom’s old family recipe so i figured I could modify the two together. The main difference is hers uses 1 cup of oats.
Hi Carissa! I would do a 1:1 ratio of oats to almond flour and it will turn out great!
It was amazing..changed it up a bit and added 2lbs of ground beef, 1 lb of ground pork, added about half cup of ground pork rinds, an extra egg, and topped it off with bacon, yum
I know this is long overdue, but I just want to thank you for this recipe. My husband is a type 1 diabetic and this is our go-to meatloaf recipe. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are SO welcome! Glad you and your hubby are enjoying it!
WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL FACTS OF THE MEATLOAF?
I thought this was great and so easy. I used 1lb pork and 2lb grassfed ground beef, plus an extra egg. I also threw in some coconut aminos, seasoned salt, and Penzeys BBQ 3000 spice mix for extra oomph. Delicious and did not miss the ketchup we used to use!
Sounds great Celeste! Thanks for sharing your version and I just may have to try it!
My oven is broken so I am wondering how this would turn out in slow cooker. I have made meatloaf in there before but not sure if there was something special about that recipe.
I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. Go for it and let me know how it turns out!
