Pumpkin Sage Mini Meatloaves

This is one of those easy-peasy recipes that you will make a few times before you just know it by heart and even start making your own versions.

With these mini meatloaves, the possibilities are endless with things like this. I love them because they’re a fast batch cook protein option that I can store in the fridge and heat up for lunch. Great over greens, chopped up in to stir fry, or even alone as a hearty snack.

Perfect timing with these babies too as I’m starting my 4th Whole30. One awesome thing about this whole blogging thing as a job is that my work often supports my lifestyle! So yup, these mini meatloaves are another recipe for PRE Brands … a great Whole30 Approved Grass Fed Beef company. Pretty cool, this little ol’ blog here is actually starting to become a business. I’ve been putting in full-time hours for a long time, haha, because I love it… but as of late between e-book sales (THANK YOU!) and sponsored posts and such.. it’s actually making me some dinero. Which is nice, because I spend all my money on food.

We’re a single income Military family… living in SUPER expensive O’ahu… so it’s nice to have a little extra income to help me pay for the foods I like… the good bacon, organic produce, grass fed beef etc.

I know it’s not always possible to eat 100% perfect all the time and we totally buy some conventional fruits and vegetables because we all gotta budget… but you know. We do our best.

Ok! So ready to make some mini meatloaves? Because I am! Just kidding… I just ate some, really… I had them for lunch, again (two days in a row)!

A note on the beef… I like to use leaner ground beef for meatloaf so that when it cooks all the fat doesn’t melt away and I’m left with tiny teeny little lumps. Hence adding in the pumpkin etc to ensure it stays yummy and moist.
