The Best Meatloaf With Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

The Best Meatloaf With Garlic Mashed Cauliflower. There’s nothing more memorable to me than a really great meal.

Speaking of great meals – try this The Best Meatloaf With Garlic Mashed Cauliflower, a hearty paleo meatloaf dish. 

In my Best Meatloaf With Garlic Mashed Cauliflower, I substituted bread crumbs with almond flour. It is a perfect substitute for breadcrumbs and will make this recipe gluten-free.

For those of you missing mashed potatoes – cauliflower will give you the same creamy texture. It won’t taste starchy like mashed potatoes, but we both know it shouldn’t anyway. And the good part is that it has lighter calories than mashed potatoes. That’s why it is popular in the weight-loss community. I hope you enjoy this recipe.

TO MAKE THE MEATLOAF:

• 1 pound ground beef (minced beef)
• ¼ cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
•  
  ½ tablespoon apple butter
• 1 large Roma tomatoes - diced
• ¼ cup yellow onion - chopped
• 1 tablespoon green onions (scallions or green shallots) - finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon cilantro (coriander) - coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper

TO MAKE THE MASHED CAULIFLOWER:

• 1 head cauliflower
• ½ tablespoon garlic
• 1 tablespoon chives
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• To make the meatloaf – combine all of the meatloaf ingredients together in a large bowl and hand mix thoroughly. Pour in a greased 1.5 loaf pan and place in the oven. Bake for one hour. Best served immediately.
• To make the mashed cauliflower – chop one head of cauliflower into 1-2 inch pieces. Place chopped cauliflower in a pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to medium, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain the water out of the pan. Once all of the water is gone, mash the cauliflower up to the consistency you desire. I like it creamy, so I just place the cauliflower in a blender until it’s nice and smooth. If you want it with a bit more texture, just mash the tender cauliflower with a fork. Toss in the garlic and chives and mix thoroughly. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Best served immediately. Enjoy!
