Meatloaf Muffins

Meat loaf just sounds like something old ladies make so I didn't make it forever. Once I found a recipe I liked it became a staple in our home. I make a pan full of these and we eat half and freeze half for another night. Meatloaf is great for hiding veggies.

Meatloaf Muffins
  • 1 1/2lbs Grass-fed Beef 
  • 1 T Olive Oil
  • 1/2 C chopped carrot
  • 1 C chopped onion
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 C ketchup (make your own!)
  • 1 C breadcrumbs (also, make your own from sprouted bread!)
  • 2 T mustard
  • 1 tsp naturally fermented soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • Butter for greasing
* You can easily add other veggies like zucchini or squash. You can also use ground turkey to cut back on fat.

Preheat oven to 350. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and saute onion, carrot, oregano and garlic for 2 min over med/high heat. Allow mixture to cool.

Combine onion mixture with remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with butter. Squirt the top of each "muffin" with ketchup before popping in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy!
