Gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, these little meat loaves are delicious, even without ketchup! After pureeing the vegetables, use a wooden spoon to help combine with the meat. I find that if the meat is right out of the refrigerator it will cool the vegetables down enough to handle fairly soon. Don't add the egg to hot vegetable puree or it will cook!
We loved these little guys! I didn't have spinach so I substituted kale and added mushrooms and some red bell pepper. They were wonderful and will definitely make them again. I used 1pound of hamburger and halved all the remaining ingredients. It made 6 small loaves. Read More

Very savoury and tasty meatloaf. I halved the recipe at least I meant to. I used 500 grams of ground beef but halved almost all the other ingredients by mistake so I think my vegetable purée to meat ratio was off a bit. I still used a whole egg though. It came out moist and delicious and the loaves held together well. In the end I got 828 grams of final mixture therefore I made each mini loaf about 135 grams (give or take) before cooking. I then used an entire slice of bacon on each just because and the result was a moist and tender meatloaf full of flavour. After 30 minutes the whole house smelled of this zippy tomato aroma that made you wish you could speed up the oven. I served these with zucchini noodles and it was almost like eating a spaghetti and meatball dinner. Kids and adults agreed that the flavour is unique and inviting and should enter into the monthly rotation at home. Thanks Bibi for this new twist on meatloaf thought I'd seen them all.:-) Read More
The first time I made this I followed the recipe exactly except I made one big loaf instead of the little ones. The 2nd time I added one more egg and just skipped the bacon. It tasted just like the meatloaf we made pre-paleo. What a hit with our family. We'll be making this again! Thank you. Read More
You are totally right about the wooden spoon. The wooden spoons are especially useful when stirring on a non-stick surface. Metal spoons can scratch nonstick coatings while smooth wooden spoons will not harm non-stick surfaces. Even when stirring in a regular pot metal spoons can leave scratches and they make a scraping noise that can become bothersome over time. Again wooden spoons to the rescue. They won t scratch your copper aluminum or stainless steel pots and are nice and quiet to use. Read More
This was such an easy recipe and an extremely clever way to bind meatloaf without using oats or bread crumbs. I love how healthy it is and how delicious the meatloaf is! The house smelled amazing as well! Awesome recipe and thank you so much for sharing! Read More
Made exactly as recipe shown and they turned out amazing! I used thick cut peppered bacon and it gives a little kick to it. Made them for this weeks lunches..perfect! Read More
Made a small portion using cherry tomatoes. Really rich and flavourful. well worth making again even for non-paleo/gluten intolerant people. A new favourite! Read More
