Lupin Free Paleo Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy
Meatloaf is the kind of comfort food that earns a permanent spot in the weekly rotation, and this version takes it somewhere genuinely special with a silky mushroom gravy that makes every slice feel like a proper Sunday dinner. Ground beef is seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, and dried thyme, then bound with almond flour and eggs for a tender, sliceable loaf that holds together beautifully. Coconut aminos and tomato paste pull double duty — they deepen the flavor inside the meat mixture and come together as a sticky, caramelized glaze on top. The gravy is where things really shine: cremini mushrooms are browned until deeply golden, then simmered with bone broth, fresh thyme, and a touch more coconut aminos before being thickened with arrowroot starch into something rich and glossy. Because every component is built from whole, recognizable ingredients, there's no need to second-guess labels or worry about sneaky legume-based fillers that often show up in conventional meatloaf recipes or packaged gravies. Letting the loaf rest before slicing is the small but crucial step that keeps the juices locked in and the portions clean. Finish with a handful of fresh parsley and bring it straight to the table — this one is a crowd-pleaser from the very first bite.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, beaten eggs, 1/4 cup beef bone broth, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks remain; overmixing will tighten the texture.
