My First Recipe Post!!!


My first recipe post and I couldn't be more excited. This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious! Definitely for the meat lover, but any of those following a more paleo style meal plan will agree that the more meat the better!


Jeff's Protein Packed Meatloaf
-1 pound grass fed beef
-1 pound organic pork sausage
-1 package organic bacon
-2 white onion, diced
-2 cloves of garlic, minced
-3 whole eggs, free range & local!
-1/4 cup fresh parsley
-1/3 cup organic raw shredded coconut
-2 tablespoons flax oil
-seasoning to taste ( I used a dash of sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin)


Pre-heat your oven to 400 and prep your bacon in a baking dish of your choice. I used a metal bread pan, but you can use anything really. I laid the bacon in overlapping strips, but it could be done in any number of different styles. Pick the one you like best and roll. To be fair you could skip the bacon bed, or simply dice that up and add it to the mix. I chose to wrap the meat in bacon to help lock in the flavor and keep it as moist as possible. Next combine all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl, making sure to incorporate them thoroughly. You could whisk the eggs in a separate bowl first but I like adding them in whole and working the mix with my hands. When you're ready move your mix into the baking dish and finish wrapping the bacon. Bake for 45 minutes and then let set. When cooled sufficiently plate and cut or just dig in. This took me approximately 10 minutes to prep everything, and then I just had to wait while it baked. Super easy and a great way to have some ready to go protein when needed. The other great part is you can mix and match ingredients however you like. You could use beef, turkey, chicken, pork, lamb, etc... for your meat choice, and add or subtract the other fillers. I made this tonight, and it was the bomb! The coconut adds a slight hint of sweetness and gets you some extra quality fat. Let me know what you all think out there, and feel free to send me some of your own recipe's that you think others would enjoy. Peace!
