Overcome Your Gut + Digestive Issues With Ancestral Nutrition
Keto/Paleo Meatloaf
This meatloaf recipe doesn’t use bread crumbs like traditional meatloaf. I wanted to make a healthier keto/paleo/gluten free version instead. At first I just took out the bread crumbs, but this resulted in most of the fat seeping out leading to a dry meatloaf. So I tried substituting the bread crumbs with mushrooms diced in a food processor. The mushrooms helped lighten the meatloaf and helped retain the fat, the roles usually assigned to bread crumbs. I really liked this version so I decided to stick with the mushrooms. After testing the recipe several times and making some adjustments, this is the recipe I’ve come up with. It’s very delicious and I think you will really enjoy it.
It’s great with brussels sprouts, greens, or mash potatoes and green beans. Anyways, I hope you and your family enjoy this recipe very much.
With love from my kitchen to yours,
Kayley
P.S. If you would like to make homemade bone broth for this, I have a recipe for bone broth that you can check out here.
Keto/Paleo Meatloaf
AuthorKayley O'BrienPreheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. And take meat out of fridge 10-30 minutes before.
Then mince mushrooms in a food processor or by hand. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl except salt. Mix till almost fully combined, then add salt and mix till fully combine. Be careful not to over mix because this could make the meat tuff and dry.
Shape the meatloaf in two loaf pans then transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Bake on a rack in the middle of the oven.
Meanwhile make the glaze. Combine all the glaze ingredients in a small pot and cook over medium heat for a few minutes while stirring frequently.
After the meatloaf has baked for 10 minutes, spread the glaze evenly over the meatloafs and return to the oven. Bake for another 1 hr and 5 minutes.
Then remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Cup of some slices, serve and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven the next day.

Notes:
- Nutrition is based on the products I use. I provide a nutrition table so that you can quickly check to see if your food products match or so that you can easily calculate the nutrition for any changes you want to make to the recipe. I think this helps if you have very specific diet goals and/or fitness and/or health goals. I also wanted you to be able to see exactly where I get the numbers for my nutrition facts so that you can see that they are reliable and learn more about macro breakdowns of food.
