Paleo Italian Meatloaf

I had a craving for some Buca Di Beppo meatballs. If you have never tried them, they are softball sized garlic flavored meatballs. I am sure they have breadcrumbs and cheese, so I had to come up with my own version. I decided to form it into a meatloaf instead of meatballs, just for ease of cooking. This was exactly what my craving was looking for! Garlic, Italian, Meat! Yum! I used jarred sauce in this recipe. Feel free to use homemade if you want, or just read labels at the store. I found an awesome store brand organic with very few ingredients.






Paleo Italian Meatloaf

2 eggs
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 head of garlic (or about 15 cloves), minced
1/4 cup almond flour
2 lbs ground beef
1 jar of your favorite paleo sauce (or small batch homemade)

Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl whisk together eggs, salt, seasoning, onion powder, garlic and almond flour. Add ground beef and combine using your hands. Mix until well blended. Form into a loaf (or put in a loaf pan). Bake for 45 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Cover liberally with 2-3 cups of sauce. Bake for 15 more minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy! (Feel free to top with extra sauce if it suits your fancy).
