CFC's Ultimate Italian-Inspired Meatloaf

Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee or avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 ribs celery finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot finely chopped or shredded
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves pressed
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup ground parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsps Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup of homemade ketchup

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f and line a 5×9 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and once melted, stir in the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, add the ground beef, sausage meat, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
  • Once the veggies are done cooking, transfer them to the large bowl with the meat. Stir very thoroughly to combine everything well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the mustard together with the ketchup.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to your prepared pan, then spread your ketchup/mustard mixture over the meat.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
  • Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve your meatloaf slices over mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
  • Meatloaf stays good in the fridge if sealed well for up to 4 days. Reheats GREAT which makes this ideal for future lunches.
  • Enjoy!
