Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground bison
- ½ cup yellow onion diced
- 1 rib celery diced
- ¼ cup carrot shredded
- ¼ cup red bell pepper diced
- ½ cup cremini mushrooms chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ cup marinara sauce for the topping
Instructions
- Grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan and preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the meatloaf (except for the marinara sauce). Mix well to combine.
- Add the bison meat mixture to the loaf pan. Gently press the meat down evenly.
- Bake for about 50 minutes or until cooked through to 160°F. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the meatloaf from the pan to a serving dish by lifting it out using two forks pressed against the sides or with spatulas. Cover with the marinara sauce.
- Cut into thick slices and serve!
Notes
- I like to use an oven-safe leave-in thermometer for this recipe so that you don’t have to keep opening the oven and poking the meatloaf.
- The internal temperature of the meatloaf will rise a bit while it is resting out of the oven, so you can take it out a few degrees before it hits 160°F.
- If you’re looking for a paleo-friendly oil to grease the loaf pan with, olive, coconut or avocado oil would all work.
- Make sure your knife is nice and sharp before cutting into the meatloaf. You may find that a knife with a serrated edge or a chef’s knife works well to get clean slices.
- You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven until heated all of the way through.
