You may think that this meatloaf sucks because it doesn’t have anything to bind it together, but you’re wrong. You’re dead wrong. It does stay together. And it tastes probably way better than it looks. Promise swear.
The other day, as I typed on this here computer at my kitchen table, I looked outside just in time to see a goose land on the top of my car. On my sunroof to be exact. It was closed, just FYI. As he waddled around on the top of the car, I thought about yelling at him. But then I would be the person yelling at a goose. And no one wants to be that guy. So I just watched to see what he would do. And he did exactly what you would think a goose would do in this situation. He shat on my car. Straight up, took a poop directly on the top of my sunroof. And it wasn’t like the normal goose poop you see in the park. No no. It was the runny kind. Like what you find in newborn baby’s diaper. Gross. I went directly to the gas station and used the good ole’ squiggy to clean that poo up. And leave it on a squiggy for the next lucky devil.
I just told an entire story about goose poop. Wow.
I’m so excited it’s summer. That means lake time. And you may wonder what I’m talking about since CO kind of lacks in lakes. But there are lakes out there, small ones, but they are bodies of water that you can boat on. I’ve decided that I don’t need to try to wakeboard any longer. If I would have started much younger, when my ligaments and bones moved like they were suppose to, then wakeboarding would be much easier. But now, when it hurts to sit in a squat, it seems like a much better decision to try surfing instead. And just stick to watching the badasses wakeboard. This is what badass looks like.
This is what I look like. Remember, this is surfing, when the boat is going probably 10 miles per hour. And you’re holding on a rope 2 feet away from the boat. And that’s a beer bong. Not a lake snake. Oh, the things that Lake Powell will make you try.
I kinda want some chocolate.
Summer Breakfast Meatloaf (egg free, nut free)
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 10–12 ounces bulk pork breakfast sausage
- 1 tablespoon bacon fat (or other fat)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 4 ounces of button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fat along with 2 garlic cloves and diced onion.
- Once the onions begins to become translucent, add diced zucchini and cover to help steam the zucchini.
- After about 3-4 minutes, add the mushrooms on top and cover again for about 4-5 more minutes.
- Once vegetables have softened, add in parsley, basil, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Mix well then remove from heat to cool.
- Once vegetables are cool, add ground beef, breakfast sausage, and cooled vegetables to a large bowl and get dirty with your hands. Mix well to combine, trying not to squish the zucchini too much.
- Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper and place the meat mixture into the dish. Press firmly to make sure it all sticks together and to keep it from falling apart.
- Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until meat presses back at you when you poke it.
- Let sit for 10 minutes after baking.
- Eat with some avocado on top. And fruit on the side. What up breakfast!?!?

Juli –
I also live in Colorado (Denver area). Where are you getting your pork breakfast sausage? I can’t seem to find any “paleo good stuff” without crap (in particular canola oil).
Can someone help?
Thanks!
I usually get mine from US wellness meats but sometimes whole foods
Delicious!!! I’m eating it for dinner right now because I can’t wait for breakfast!
Strange question…I just found out I’m allergic to a bunch of random fruit and vegetables…many of which I love…and I don’t know how to work around it yet! What could be used in this other than squash and zucchini? (It is so sad to type that…I LOVE those veggies!)
By accident, I found a time saving step that worked for me. My kids turn their noses up at zucchini and mushrooms, so I put everything veggie in a food processor and had it finely minced. Forgot to cook the veggies first, and dumped it in with the meats and spices. Mixed it anyhow and cooked per instructions. Results: Delicious and kids didn’t know veggies were even in it! They cooked down nicely due to their small size.
This was great!
J! this was the BEST MEATLOAF OF MY LIFE!!!! And I say that with some SERIOUS excitement. Thank you for making cooking so fun with your great stories about wild creatures pooping on your car! ha! love love you site!!! xo
Just made this tonight and altered it a bit for dinner! Used ground Bison, lamb and chicken sausage, added celery and carrots. Omitted the mushrooms. WAS THE BEST MEATLOAF EVER!!
I just made this as my first Paleo dish, and it turned out wonderfully!
Both my roommate and I enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks!
Thank you SO much for an egg free meatloaf recipe! It is SO hard to find, and I have an egg and peanut allergic child. Of course, peanuts aren’t paleo, but it seems like egg everything, all the time! More of these, PLEASE!! 🙂
Not a ground beef fan so will be substituting ground turkey. this sounds amazing!
