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.

this made a great dinner tonight!!!!
I make a lot of really good meatloafs, and this was everyone’s favorite so far! Swapped guacamole for a spicy tomato sauce. It was delicious, thanks so much for sharing!
unable to find smoked paprika where can I find it or can something else be substituted?
you could use regular paprika!
I made this last night and it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe was fantastic! Made it last night for dinner with leftovers for this totally lame May snow day. 🙁 Come on, Denver. Really?
A friend recommended your blog to me after my husband and I started the Atkins diet over a month ago- (yep, those weird people on the other side of the tracks who don’t even eat honey). We’ve both super stoked to find such tasty ideas here! Keep up the awesome!
Follow-up: This tasted even better reheated for lunch the next day than it did out of the oven! Om nom nom.
Made this tonight and it was very good. It ended up a little spicy for my 6 year old, but she still ate it. 😉 Thank you for a great addition to our menu!
Holy shit this is SO DELICIOUS!! Thanks you very much for this recipe. Me and my dad both loved and and we plan on trying all of the different meatloaf recipes.
It was delish! The Dutch equivalent for hot sauce was a bit of a problem. I still had some pepper sauce, which probably made it extra spicy 😉 Didn’t use two tbs though, just to be sure. Thanks for the great recipe!
This is one of my favorite meatloaf recipes! Making it tonight with Brussels sprouts and bacon on the side 🙂
So good! My favorite Whole30 meal I’ve made so far. I ended up making just one loaf from this recipe. I tried to divide it between two loaf pans but it was too thin. Maybe the pans were bigger than the ones you used?
Either way – amazing. Great with a sweet potato casserole!
