Bacon Ranch Meatloaf with Steamed Broccoli
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground grass-fed beef
- ½ cup plus ¼ cup chopped cooked bacon
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup kale
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 5 cups Broccoli for the side, steamed!
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 400 and combine all ingredients, except for the coconut oil and a quarter cup of the cooked chopped bacon, by hand. Once evenly combined shape into a loaf, or small “loafs” if you want everything to cook faster! Place on a baking sheet or tuck into a bread loaf pan. Top the loaf with the remaining quarter cup of cooked chopped bacon. It’s a good idea to press the bacon into the loaf just a bit so that it stays in place. Use the coconut oil to lightly grease the loaf pan prior to placing the beef mixture in the pan, if you think you’ll need it.
2) Bake at 375°C (190°C) for about an hour or until the internal temperature at the center of the loaf reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove the meatloaf from the oven at 155°F and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
3) Serve with some fresh greens and a cup of the broccoli!
