Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and onion, cooking until slightly softened, approximately 3-7 minutes. Introduce the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, spinach, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, allowing the flavors to meld for about 20 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly, around 5-10 minutes.

02

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

03

Step

Using a stick blender, carefully puree the vegetable mixture until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a regular blender, filling it no more than halfway. Secure the lid tightly and pulse a few times before blending continuously until smooth. Repeat in batches as needed.

04

Step

In a large bowl, combine the pureed vegetables, ground beef, and lightly beaten egg. Gently mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Divide the meat mixture into 10 equal portions, shaping each into a mini-loaf. Place the mini-loaves on the prepared baking sheet and top each with a piece of bacon.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 40-45 minutes. For accuracy, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

For optimal flavor, use high-quality, lean ground beef.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile.
To prevent the egg from cooking prematurely, ensure the vegetable puree has cooled sufficiently before mixing.
These mini meatloaves can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

    These are great, but I found they needed a little more salt. I added an extra teaspoon.
