    The prep time for this recipe is only 10 minutes, and it takes only 1 hour to cook, making it a great option for busy weeknights. And with its delicious combination of ground beef, almond flour, onion, garlic, herbs, tomato paste, and eggs, this meatloaf is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

    When it comes to serving, this basic paleo meatloaf is great all on its own, but you can also serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad. I love pairing this with these roasted cherry tomatoes. It can also be a great sandwich or wrap if you have a paleo-approved bread or tortilla option on hand!

    How to Make a Basic Paleo Meatloaf

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.

    In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf except for the cooking fat.

    Take a loaf-sized glass baking dish and lightly grease it.

    Press the meat mixture into the dish, shaping it into a loaf.

    Pour melted cooking fat over the top of the loaf.

    Place the meatloaf in the oven and let it bake for about an hour, or until it is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

    Once the meatloaf is cooked through, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will give the meatloaf time to set and will also help to keep it moist and juicy.
