Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare a loaf pan by spraying with cooking spray or rubbing with coconut oil. Line with parchment paper. Additionally, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
Finely dice carrots, onion, and bell pepper
Preheat skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 TBSP avocado oil. Once hot, add carrots, onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook until soft, roughly 8-10 minutes
Add broth and cook an additional 2 minutes
Add tomato paste and heavy whipping cream. Stir to combine and cook an additional 1-2 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat
In a large bowl add meat, eggs, flax seed, Worcestershire, vegetable mixture, oregano, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and mix until just combined.
Press the mixture in the loaf pan. Place the parchment lined baking sheet on top of the loaf pan and flip so that the meatloaf pan is inverted onto the baking sheet. Essentially, you will be baking the meatloaf upside down in the loaf pan.
Bake for 30 minutes and then remove from oven. Carefully, using oven mitts and a spatula tap the top and sides of the loaf pan and carefully lift the pan away from the meatloaf. Carefully peel away the parchment paper and discard.
Spread 1/2 cup of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the loaf reaches an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees.
Let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving
Enjoy!
