This is an easy, delicious, and nutritious carnivore meatloaf recipe that is free from bread crumbs, panko, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dairy, etc.

Ground beef by itself is not the most appetizing food around but with a few strips of bacon, a bit of liver or pate, and bonemeal, it’s both super nutritious and delicious.

Apart from a bit of vitamin C, this simple meatloaf will have all nutrients that your body ever needs, from complete proteins and good fats, to all essential vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin K2 and calcium.

This is a fool-proof recipe that is 100% animal-based and suits even people who are on a strict carnivore diet.

You can also freeze it after cooking and it’s okay for up to 4 months. To freeze cooked meatloaf, let it cool completely, cut it into desired serving size, and store it in an airtight container to avoid cross-contamination.

If you prefer freshly cooked meatloaf, you can also double or triple the recipe and freeze the premixed meatloaf in the freezer.

Wrap the raw meatloaf tightly with cling wrap and place it in a freezer bag. You can freeze the raw meatloaf for up to 6 months.

Make sure to defrost raw meatloaf completely in the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before baking.
