Not your mother’s meatloaf
Not Your Mother's Meatloaf ~ a meatloaf recipe filled with flavor, texture, color, and nutrition, definitely not the bland and boring meatloaf your mother made (sorry mom!)
Servings: 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Angus ground beef, 80-85%
- 1/2 a medium white onion, minced
- 1/2 cup minced bell peppers, any color
- 1 hot cherry pepper, or jalapeno minced
- 1/2 cup crushed fire roasted tomatoes
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2-3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- lots of salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Use your fingertips to combine everything well, but don't over-mix or compact the meat. I like to break up the meat into smaller pieces as I add it to the bowl to give the mixing a head start.
- Form the meat into an even, squat loaf, and try to get it the same width and height from end to end so it will cook evenly.
- Bake it for about 50-60 minutes. You'll check with a thermometer, and it's done when the center reaches 155. Take it out, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes or so before slicing.
