Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Avocado, Coconut Oil or Lard is a fine substitute
- 1 pint mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 carrot peeled and grated
- 1 onion minced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup AIP Ketchup (see links in notes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a skillet, heat the oil and sauté the mushrooms, onion, carrot, and garlic for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Once finished cooking, set aside and let cool.
- In a large bowl mix the parsley, salt, and thyme. Add the meat and cooled vegetables to the bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 5 loaf pan, making sure to spread it evenly into the corners.
- Cook for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Remove from oven and carefully pour off liquid. Cover the meatloaf with the ketchup then put the loaf back in the oven for 10 minutes under the broiler.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- Traditionally, ketchup is used on top of meatloaf, but BBQ sauce or Caramelized Onions would work as well. Try my AIP Banana Ketchup, AIP Classic BBQ Sauce or purchase ketchup or BBQ sauce from KC Naturals.
- I used a glass loaf pan like this one.
- This is a great recipe to add minced organ meat as part of the ground meat. But keep it to about 1/4 pound to maintain flavor.
- This recipe also works great as meatballs. It makes about 8 large meatballs and can be baked on a baking sheet for 30 minutes at 350.
