meatloaf

Evalana's current favorite meal is meatloaf. It's healthy and we all like it, so we've been eating a lot of it. Here's how we do it:

2 lbs. grassfed beef
any veggies you have on hand and want to eat. food processor them as small as they go. we usually use spinach, sweet peppers, mushrooms, sweet onion, garlic, and carrots. it's really more of a vegetable loaf with meat, the way we do it.
add whatever you want for flavor. i use a bunch of costco's organic no salt seasoning and a little barbeque sauce.
to hold it together, i add about a 1/2 cup oat flour (oats ground up in food processor). Sometimes I throw in a handful of quinoa just for extra quinoa-ness.
mix everything.
put in 9x13 pan, stick in beef thermometer if you have one.
bake at 375 for about an hour.
mix together tomato paste and barbecue sauce. add a little brown sugar if you want. or just use ketchup if you'd rather.
spread the tomato sauce on the top for the last 10 minutes of baking.
we usually have brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes on the side.
