My grandma's meatloaf Paleo-style:

I grew up to my grandmother's cooking! Everything from tonkatsu to sweet 'n sour spare ribs to meatloaf. These days, since I've been on the Paleo Diet, I have been trying to turn some of my favorite grandma dinners into Paleo meals. Here's my version of her meatloaf.

Ingredients:
3 lbs. ground beef (A'ala Meat Market)
4 cloves of garlic crushed
1 onion chopped
2 stalks of celery chopped
1 carrot grated
1/2 a bell pepper chopped

1 cup of almond meal
3 large local eggs (Kalei Eggs)
1 can organic tomato paste (Whole Foods)

1 teaspoon sea salt
3 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon marjoram
black pepper to taste

Low sodium bacon (Whole Foods)

Directions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prep all of your veggies (garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and bell pepper): wash, crush, chop, and/or grate! Put them to the side in the bowl.
3. Put your ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add almond meal, eggs, tomato paste, and spices.
4. Mix well with your hand.
5. Add veggies and continue to mix well.
6. Put your ball of meatloaf in a glass pan and shape it into "half a log".
7. Line your low sodium bacon on top your meatloaf.
8. Put in the oven and cook for 60-75 minutes.
