Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Minis – Paleo Style

I eat wheat (organic, mill it myself).  I drink dairy (raw from grass-fed). Why am I posting a paleo recipe? Well one reason is, I have lots of friends who are either on a paleo diet, primal diet, gluten free diet, GAPS diet etc and I like to provide options for all.  The other reason is, when I am not eating something with my milled wheat, I prefer it to have no wheat and paleo recipes work perfect! I am sure I have before and will again post recipes that are geared for a specific lifestyle not just general organic etc.  I would like to start making note of these in the title for easier navigation for those of us with specific eating requirements. Enjoy this oh so delicious recipe for all to enjoy!

       Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Minis – Paleo Style

  • 1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef (grass-fed from)
  • 1 lb Bacon (sit aside 12 pieces, mine had 14 if yours only has 12 cut about 1 – 1/2 in off the ends)
  • 3/8 c Coconut Milk (that is 1/4 cup, one and a half times if you don’t have an 1/8 cup)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 T Chives, dried
  • 1/2 t Parsley dried
  • 1/4 t Pepper

Preheat oven to 400º.  In a 12 cup muffin pan, line each of your 12 slices of bacon around the edges.  Dice up the remainder of your bacon pieces.  Combine bacon pieces, ground beef, coconut milk, garlic, chives, parsley and pepper in a large bowl.

Divide Mixture in to 12 portions.  Roll each portion into a loose ball and stuff into the center of a bacon lined tin.  Bake for 30 min.

Meatloaf

For this recipe I use grass fed beef, free range eggs, and organic ingredients.  I really enjoy this recipe, it has been my most successful meatloaf yet.

     Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs ground beef (grass fed)
  • 2 lg onions
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c Rolled Oats
  • 1 T dry parsley
  • 1 1/4 c ketchup (I use my homemade ketchup)
  • 3/4 c bbq sauce (I use my homemade bbq of course 😉
  • salt & pepper & turmeric to taste (I try to put at least a little turmeric in everything b/c of its anti-carcinogenic properties in case you were wondering why it kept popping up lol)

Chop onion, mix all ingredients, adding sauces gradually until desired consistency.  Bake at 350º until done (usually about an hour). You can mix this recipe up the night before and allow to sit overnight, or even freeze it in the loaves then thaw the day before you want to bake it. Serve with veggies of choice!
