Holy balls. I can barely walk today. I did pistols the other day. No I didn’t shoot things, I did one legged squats. Guns kinda scare me. But seriously, if you want your ass to feel like someone literally took a slab of muscle out of your donk, used a tenderizer on it, then put it back in your body…do pistols. That doesn’t sound fun? Well, if my ass hurts this bad (especially considering it’s size), there has to be some kind of muscle gains from this movement, right? My hopes are that my butt is going to look like gold starting tomorrow. I’m going to look in the mirror and it’s just going to bounce back at me. That didn’t make sense. But you know what I mean. Probably not.
As I’ve become more and more into CrossFit over this year and a half, I’ve noticed I look at guys butts more often. I used to never notice that sh*t. Nor did I notice the size of their calves. Now I always look at both. I feel like a guy. But butt size and calf size often say a lot about a man’s workout routine. In turn, it says a lot of their personality. You see, I hang around some pretty good looking guys, with great calves AND butts, so I’m often judgmental with other guys I meet. Do I sound like a b*tch? Totally do. But that’s besides the point. I just like a great butt, ok?
Speaking of beef cakes, I love meatloaf. So it was about time to make a new meatloaf recipe. Meat in loaf form just makes more sense. And seems to be more fun to eat. It really makes no sense but it does in my mind. But you all have seen what my mind is capable of. I just love ground meat. I plan on making a new chili recipe every day next week. I’m gonna have a balls ton of food at my house. You excited? Me too. Wanna come over and have a dinner date?? See you soon.
By the way, I’m sitting on a lacrosse ball at a coffee shop right now. Inappropriate? Maybe to some. To me it means some newly flexibly hamstrings so I can walk again. K bye.

OMG! I just made this tonight (after being introduced to your site by Eileen Schreiber)….the only changes I made were I used Spanish paprika and I made a tomato sauce with Southwest Chipotle seasoning to pour on top and bake with during the last 20 min. or so….I put it in a traditional pan so I baked for 60 min. LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for posting this recipe! I look forward to trying more!!
Glad you liked it Kim!! Can’t wait to hear what other recipes you try!
Making this for the fourth time tonight. It’s actually for Sunday family dinner this time!
This is quick, easy and tasty! All the right components for a good meal.
Glad you guys are all enjoying it!
Made this last night with a couple of extra cloves of garlic at my non-paleo husband’s request. Sooo delish!! Thank you!!
Glad you liked it Sarah!!
Wow–another winner! Loved the kick to this meatloaf, and glad I noticed to add guacamole at the last minute.
Down 40lbs since mid-Nov thanks to your recipes and those from Caveman George
That’s awesome Sean!!
How many servings do you think this makes?
I’d say about 6 servings, depending how much your guests eat!
Good lord! This is awesome! Thank you!! I’m finishing off one of the “loafs” on my own right now.
YAY! glad you liked it Patrick 🙂
Yet another phenomenal recipe! I was lacking the chili powder and used a few dashes of cayenne instead- still turned out fantastic!
Glad you liked it Riva!
So even though I LOVE LOVE LOVE your recipes and have made so many of them, I feel more compelled to comment on your ramblings about life cuz they crack me up!!
I think checking out a guy’s forearms has been what I’ve been doing since crossfitting…I can tell if they can do a heavy snatch. I like heavy-snatching men….
Anyways, keep it coming! You crack me up!
This turned out SO good! my new favorite go to meal.. who knew meatloaf could be so damn good??! Thanks for the recipe.
OMG – talk about a go to meal! I use 2 lbs of grass fed ground beef and eat it for lunch every day at work. I know i need to switch it up or I’m going to get sick of it! We added 1 orange pepper and more garlic as well. Great vehicle for more veggies! We also water sauteed and it still turned out AWESOME!
