Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 green pepper, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 cup white onion, diced
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1.5 tablespoons mined garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2/3 cup pizza sauce, divided, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the egg and beat it. Then add in all ingredients except for half of the pizza sauce (1/3 cup reserved for putting on top of the meatloaf)
- Using your hands, combine all of the ingredients together until the egg, spices, vegetables and flour is evenly mixed with the meat, do not over-mix or it drys out the meat
- Add the meat mixture into your meatloaf pan or form it into a loaf on a baking sheet
- Place it into the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temp is 155 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before trying to slice it
- Serve it with a bit of additional warmed pizza sauce over each slice
Notes
- Cassava flour can be used in place of almond flour for the binder if you have a nut allergy
- If not wanting this to be 100% paleo/Whole30, you can add pepperoni to the top before baking, and add cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking (can also add 1/3 cup parmesan to the meatloaf while mixing)
