Meatloaf Meatballs

Feb 16, 2017 · 4 Comments

Meatloaf was one of my husband’s favorite meals that I used to make long before we changed our diet, and I’ve been meaning to create my own recipe for years now.

Meatloaf Meatballs

Meatloaf is typically made with breadcrumbs and eggs, but I wanted to create a version that didn’t have either of those, or used any sort of grain-free flours. That’s exactly how these Meatloaf Meatballs were born, and they turned out more delicious than I could have even hoped for!

Meatloaf Meatballs

I’ve made multiple double batches (and even a triple batch!) of these Meatloaf Meatballs in the past two weeks and I brought some for the owner of my gym to try, who I have regularly taste test my recipes, and he couldn’t stop raving about them! These are loaded with so much flavor, and crazy easy to make. I love these served with my Powered Up Veggie Muffins & Cauliflower Mash! These go fast in my house, I definitely recommend making at least a double batch!

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or grass-fed butter
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/3 cup ketchup (I like Tessemae's or Sir Kensington's - or use the easy recipe from my eBook!)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt the ghee/butter in a medium sized pan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the onion to the pan and sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the remaining ingredients, besides the ground beef. Stir well to combine, and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Place the mixture from the pan into a large bowl, along with the ground beef and mix just until combined, using your hands.
  • Shape the meatloaf mixture into 12 meatballs, and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the ketchup over the top of the meatballs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Enjoy!

    These were so good and easy! Added a clove of garlic and a little bit of almond flour for the texture, but so so good! Way easier and quicker then a loaf.
