Veggie Packed Paleo Meatloaf with Bacon

Veggie Packed Paleo Meatloaf with Bacon

Printable Recipe

 

 

I have two kids that are mostly paleo/primal and always feel like they never have enough veggies. They eat of lot of fruit, but sometimes they get tired of broccoli and potatoes so I thought I'd incorporate their veggies into the protein and hoped they'd eat it.

The little one is 2 and loves broccoli. The older one is 9 and loves salad and on rare occassions, he'll eat some broccoli. They're good at finishing what's on their plate so if they get something they don't really care for, they know they need to eat it anyways. I like that about them!

 

So anyway. I always have spinach in my fridge or freezer and I had baby carrots this week, too. Threw the veggies in the food processor with the eggs and mixed all of that into the meat, and viola! A super healthy meatloaf.

 

Ingredients:

8 servings

2lbs. ground beef (any ground meat will work)

2-3cups spinach, fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw and wring out excess water.

1/2cup baby carrots

2 eggs

1tsp salt

1/2tsp pepper

1/2 - 1 tsp garlic powder, the amount is up to you.

1/4cup white onion or 1Tbsp minced dried onion

1/4cup ketchup or diced tomatoes

3-4 pieces of uncooked bacon

 

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with tin foil.

In a food processor, combine the eggs, spinach and carrots until your desired consistency has been met. Pour ingredients into a large bowl and mix everything together thoroughly. Form the meatloaf into whatever shape you desire and cover or wrap in bacon.

 

Bake for 40 minutes, uncovered and check for doneness. If you have bacon on top and wish for it to be crisp, turn the broiler on until desired crispness has occurred.

 

 

I hope you try this and enjoy it like we did!
