- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 0.5 lbs ground pork
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
Vegetables
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely minced
- 1/2 cup zucchini, grated and squeezed dry Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced

- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Method
Preparation
- Sauté the finely minced onions, mushrooms, and garlic in a pan with a dash of oil for approximately 5 minutes until soft and excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar to create the mahogany glaze. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, eggs, dried oregano, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and the cooled sautéed vegetable mixture.
- Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overworking the meat to maintain a tender texture.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9×5 inch loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the prepared glaze evenly over the top.
Cooking
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
