Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 2 tsp. cooking oil or ghee (avocado oil, coconut oil or olive oil)
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 cup Whole30-compliant barbecue sauce (such as Tessemae’s or The New Primal) 
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut oil or ghee (may use butter if you don’t need them to be Whole30) 
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place ground beef in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
  • Add garlic, cook 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add onion-garlic mixture to ground beef. Add barbecue sauce, sea salt, pepper and dried thyme. Using your hands or a spoon, mix well to combine.
  • Divide meat mixture evenly among 12 wells of a muffin pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in the center.
  • While meatloaves are baking, steam sweet potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and puree sweet potatoes and coconut oil or butter in a food processor, or mash well with a fork.
  • Scoop topping onto meatloaves or fill a plastic zip-top with topping, trim the corner of the bag with a scissors and pipe topping onto meatloaves. Or use a spoon to top.
  • Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.
