Meat Loaf

[Bonnie80]

Anyone have a great recipe for meatloaf? I've never made meatloaf in my life but I have a request for it tonight. Can anyone help?

The way I make it -- and I also make meatballs with the same recipe -- is:

2 pounds of ground meat (I sometimes use a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground pork or pork sausage, but you can use 2 pounds of beef)
1 small onion, diced
1 small green pepper, diced
1 egg
1/4 cup of flaxseed meal (in place of bread crumbs)
1 T of worcestershire sauce
1 t of garlic powder (or to taste)
1/4 t of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper

I mix all the ingredients (with my hands!) and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

I'm making it tomorrow for dinner--it's my daughter's birthday and that's her favorite!

Hope that helps

There's another good meatloaf recipe posted at Lowcarbluxury.com that involves spinach and cheese. It's good -- if you can convince your family that it's okay to eat meatloaf with green stuff in it.

I guess it's time for me to get some flaxseed meal! Thanks for the recipe. Do you think crushed pork rinds would work instead? My family loves meatloaf and I'm hoping I can trick them to not know the difference!
