Fire-Roasted Meatloaf

I purchased a Paleo Slow Cooking book from Barnes & Noble, and let me just say it was worth every penny!  I am so busy during the day, and it is so nice to throw everything into the crock pot and have a yummy, nutritious meal ready to go at dinnertime.  This recipe was a HUGE success with my family!  See recipe below...

Fire-Roasted Meatloaf

1/2 head cauliflower, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 pound grass-fed ground beef (I buy this at Sprouts.)
1/2 c. of fire roasted salsa
1 small can of fire-roasted diced green chilies
1 egg
1/2 c. almond flour
2 1/2 tsp. of chili powder
3/4 tsp. cumin
3/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. basil
5 T. organic tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste

1.  Using food processor, finely chop the cauliflower, garlic, and onion and set aside.
2.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salsa, chilies, and egg.
3.  Add the cauliflower, garlic, and onion mixture to the beef mixture.
4.  Add the almond flour and spices to the beef mixture.  Using your hands, kneed and mix all the ingredients together.
5.  Shape the beef mixture into a loaf and place it in the slow cooker.
6.  Using a spatula, evenly spread the tomato paste on top of the meatloaf.
7.  Cover and cook on high for four hours or until the internal temp. of the meatloaf has reached 160F.  Salt and pepper to taste.
