Join the discussionLOVE this paleo recipe!!
I’m not a “meatloaf” type of person but this sounds so good! I’m going to have to make it soon.
Can the adobo sauce be reduced or left out to reduce the heat? This sounds delicious but my kids (nor myself) can handle too much of a burn.
Yes, it absolutely can! In fact, when I make this again, I’m leaving out the chipotle and adobo sauce altogether.
This recipe is delish. Love Love Love that sauce that made up just perfect in a blender.
It is so good! I’m making some this week
My husband is allergic to eggs (not even egg substitutes) What would I use to bind these mini loaves together? I have made a full meatloaf before using salsa and oatmeal and it’s held together nicely but these sound good.
This post should help you navigate that issue: https://onceamonthmeals.com/goi…
This sounds amazing but I’m thinking of leaving out the bacon fat to decrease the calories/fat content. Would that drastically alter things or just affect the taste?
Hi Tori! Yes, we believe this would change up the flavor quite a bit and will change the way in which the garlic and onions will saute. However, if you still give this a try without the bacon fat we would love to hear how you liked the results.
