Tired of hamburgers and steak? Another classic beef recipe is the all-popular meatloaf. As it stands, meatloaf is already Paleo-approved, so you just need to add the sides of fruits and vegetables, and you’re done – easy-peasy.
This meatloaf is not like the meatloaf you remember from your childhood, though, as this meatloaf recipe includes the sweetness of honey to counterbalance the optional tang of Worcestershire sauce, and it packs in nearly every spice from your spice cabinet. Everything from thyme and oregano, to chili pepper, garlic, and onion are combined together with the meat to make an unforgettable meatloaf that will have everyone in the family going back for seconds.
While this meatloaf is very filling as is, you can opt for a smaller portion and serve it with a side salad. This is a great way to ensure that you are eating more vegetables than meat, but that you are still getting your portion of meat, too.
