Meatloaf

2 lb ground beef
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 T potato starch
2 eggs
4 slices bacon*

Cook bacon.  My favorite method is to place it in a glass pie plate, cover with parchment paper, and microwave on high 4 minutes (1 min per slice).  Save bacon grease.

Preheat oven to 375.  Mix mirepoix, salt, Worcestershire, potato starch, and eggs in a bowl.  Whisk until thoroughly combined (no lumps of potato starch).  Add ground beef, crumbling it in with your fingers.  Chop bacon and add.  Pour in reserved bacon grease.  Stir with a fork to combine, but don't over-mix.

Shape into a long loaf in the middle of a casserole dish.  Pour a little water in each side to prevent grease from being baked on.

Bake for 1.5 hours.

If you like meatloaf topped with sauce, here is a sauce;  not paleo unless you use natural ketchup!
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp maple syrup

*Bacon is optional.  Even if you don't use it, if you have some bacon grease pour a little in.
