Paleo Meatloaf + Homemade Ketchup = YUM!

Hi Guys!

I made something really yummy the other day and wanted to share it with you … Basically I had 1.5 lbs of ground beef that was on its last day and I had to do something with it fast. I immediately thought meatloaf because you can just mix in the ingredients, pop it in the oven and presto! Dinner is served.

So, I pulled out my new favorite cookbook for inspiration. Then I googled Paleo ketchup and found a recipe to try (it’s the recipe I shared yesterday). The results were really delicious!! I rarely do sauces because I just feel like they’re just one more thing to make so I skip them. I may have just changed my mind about that! The ketchup was REALLY good …
