Recipe Makeover: Meatloaf


By Emily Saunders

Meatloaf- it’s an American standard isn’t it?  However, with lots of breadcrumbs and ketchup the starch and sugar content doesn’t make it the most waistline friendly dinner.  But have no fear- Momsanity is here with a makeover!  Ready, set, let’s meatloaf!!!  P.S.  This is SOOOO Good that I have been making it almost weekly since tweaking the recipe.  It makes 8 servings too!

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef, venison or turkey

3 eggs

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 onion, chopped

1 bag of spinach

1/2 red or green pepper chopped

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. thyme

2 cloves garlic, minced (or 2 tsp. jarred)

1/2 tsp. cayenne or chili powder

1/4 cup organic low-sugar ketchup or barbecue sauce

Instructions:

Pre-heat oven to 350

Saute vegetables in a bit of olive oil (start with onions then add spinach and garlic).

While veggies are cooking add almond flour to eggs and then mix with meat mixture in a large bowl (use your hands)

Place mixture in a loaf pan (make sure there is a little room at the top of the loaf pan).  Add ketchup/bbq to top and spread evenly.

Place pan in oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until done.

Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!
