Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp. avocado oil
  • 1 10-12 oz. bag of frozen mixed vegetables my local store has one called stirfry vegetables that I like (broccoli, green beans, onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.)
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. breakfast sausage (not Italian sausage)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp. coconut aminos
  • 3/4 tsp. himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. caramelized onions if you don't have these already made, add a small onion when you sauté the other veggies

Topping

  • 1/3 cup ketchup or bbq sauce or marinara sauce, sugar free version for Whole 30
  • 1 tsp. maple syrup omit for Whole 30
  • 1 tsp. coconut aminos

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and vegetables. Cook until very tender. This will take about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • While veggies are cooking, add ground beef, sausage, almond flour, egg, coconut aminos, salt, pepper and onions to a large mixing bowl.
  • Once veggies are tender, remove from the heat and blend or process until smooth. I know this sounds weird, but trust me. The blend of veggies I usually use includes everything from broccoli, cauliflower, onions, mushrooms, carrots and green beans. All blended together, this is a flavor and nutrition packed combo.
  • Allow the vegetable mixture to cool slightly then add to your mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together well, being careful not to over mix.
  • If you want to taste for seasoning, turn the heat back on under your skillet and cook a little patty of the mixture. Add more salt and/or pepper if desired.
  • Divide loaves into 8 equal portions and form into loaf shapes. Space them out on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Serve with your favorite veggies on the side. Remember that you packed some vegetables right inside the meatloaves too. Perfect for picky eaters!
