This meatloaf has so many goodies in it I just call it health loaf! Everyone that has ever tried it loves it, and they are shocked when I tell them how many superfoods are hidden inside. I like to use venison, and I grind several pounds at once and divide it into loaves and freeze it. An alternative might be to use a food processor for the nuts and vegetables, then mix as you normally would. Then on meatloaf night, I thaw one out and throw it in the oven. These amounts are an estimate, I try to gauge how well the ground meat will stay together. Add an extra egg or a little extra oatmeal if you feel it's necessary. Other additions I'm considering: tofu, black beans. Ingredients:
10 lbs lean ground beef or 10 lbs venison |
4 eggs or 1 cup egg substitute |
1 cup walnuts |
6 cups fresh spinach |
1 cup mushroom |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
1/2 medium yellow onion |
1/4 medium red bell pepper |
1 cup oatmeal |
1/4 cup wheat germ |
1/4 cup milled flax seed |
1 medium carrot |
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
6 garlic cloves |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Grind or process all ingredients together. 2. Shape into loaves according to your family size. I have even read about baking meatloaf in muffin tins. 3. Bake at 350 until center reaches 160, usually about 30 minutes. |
