I improvised a meatloaf this afternoon. I used to love the version on the back of the Quaker Oats package when I was a child. It called for tomato juice. I didn't have any, so I used milk. I added cheese and spices to this version. Here is what I developed. It was delicious, (if I do say so myself.) I hope you enjoy it.
My Favorite Meatloaf Recipe
1 lb. ground beef or mince (I use grass fed, 85% lean)
1/2 medium sized onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2-1 tsp. sea salt (depending on taste)
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. dried thyme
dash of chili powder
1 egg
1/2 cup of oats (soak them in the milk)
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Spoon into a loaf pan, and make an indentation along the top. Fill the cavity with ketchup. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
