I don’t know about you, but I love me some comfort food! Especially when the temperature starts to drop and the days get shorter – it just makes the evening a little less miserable when I have a warm delicious meal to look forward to. So that, ladies and gentlemen, is where this recipe comes into play. Meatloaf was a fairly regular meal in the winter when I was growing up, but let’s be honest…as a kid, I just liked the top layer that was a mixture of ketchup and brown sugar. Now that I like to think of my palette as a little bit more grown up and refined, I’ve come to like meatloaf for the actual meat and seasonings. 🙂 Ok, ok…I may still use some ketchup but it’s organic and doesn’t contain high fructose corn syrup so it’s fine, right?! 😉 Tell me, what are some of your favorite comfort foods? My list can go on and on, but I’m always curious about other people’s preferences and always looking for new foods to try out!
Speaking of new foods to try out, do you watch Master Chef Junior?? If you don’t, you should start. It’s great. The kids are so honest and sweet to one another and say the most hilarious things and they can cook better than I can and they’re like 7. The best part is when they make comments about how they’ve been making or eating something “since they were little”…sooooo since like yesterday?? I’m starting to ramble…so let’s get down to it and get this recipe into your hands…
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 1 pound Italian seasoned ground turkey I used Jennie-O
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup oat flour I just blend my oats in a food processor or blender
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 dash crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee for greasing the pan
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking pan with coconut oil or butter.
- Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure to mix well so that the egg and seasonings are evenly dispersed.
- On a cutting board, or in the baking pan, form the meat into a football shaped ball.
- Place the meatloaf pan in the oven and bake for 1-1.5 hours.
