BACON COVERED MEATLOAF
From: Libby @ www.ditchthecarbs.com/
Meatloaf is such a perfect recipe to use ground/mince meat, and a fabulous way to hide more vegetables if you have reluctant children. Bacon covered meatloaf is so versatile and so easy to make. You can whip this together while the oven is warming up then while it is cooking prepare the vegetables. I generally serve this with mashed cauliflower and silver beet carbonara.
PREP TIME: 15 mins
COOK TIME: 50 mins
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 5 mins
Serves: 12
INGREDIENTS
1 spring onion sliced
2 crushed garlic cloves
750g / 1.6 lb mince/ground beef
750g / 1.6 lb mince/ground pork
2 eggs lightly beaten
handful fresh chopped parsley
handful fresh chopped basil
2 slices bacon diced
30g / 1 oz chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
2 tsp dried oregano
+/- salt and pepper to taste
grated vegetables of choice can also be added
slices of bacon to cover the meatloaf
Optional - if not paleo you can add 100g / 3.5 oz grated cheese of choice to the meatloaf mixture
INSTRUCTIONS
Oil and line a baking tray before starting.
Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated together.
Form into a large meatloaf shape on the lined baking tray.
Cover with the bacon slices and sprinkle on parmesan cheese (optional).
Bake at 180C/350F for 50 minutes or until thoroughly cooked in the centre.
NOTES:
It is incredibly low carb with only 1.2g per slice.
Hide grated vegetables inside.
It’s fabulous for breakfast the next day or school lunches.
The meatloaf can be frozen as individual slices with baking paper in between. Defrost a slice as you need it.
Leftovers are king for breakfast (cereals are so last year
? ).
If this recipe appeals, take a look at my meatloaf cupcakes. A simple and portable solution for school lunches, breakfast and snacks on the go.
