Equipment

  • 9" x 5" Loaf Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 lbs ground beef I use 85/15
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour *
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt to taste

For the Glaze:

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the glaze until well-combined. Taste for flavor and add salt, pure maple syrup, and/or coconut aminos to taste. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until cooled and ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the beef, beaten eggs, tapioca flour (see recipe adaptations below for potential replacements), dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, and the cooked and cooled sauteed onions and garlic to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to the lined loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Pour the glaze over the meat and spread evenly. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 50 to 60 minutes, or until cooked through (note: meat should be 155 to 160 degrees).
  • Allow meat to cool at least 15 minutes before pulling it out of the loaf pan and transferring it to a cutting board. Cut into slices and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

*For low-carb meatloaf, use 2/3 cup almond flour or ground up pork rinds. You can also use 1/3 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour or 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
