Meatloaf

MEATLOAF

1 1/2 pounds ground meat
Ground beef, pork, bison, turkey are all good choices. I usually use at least two.
2 eggs
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of sage
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or coconut flour for a gluten free option)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons mustard


Preheat oven to 350º.

Saute the onions, garlic, and mushrooms in olive oil over medium heat until they are tender and very slightly browned.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Put the meat mixture into a loaf pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for about 75 minutes. Take the foil off the pan during the last 10 to 15 minutes to brown the top of the loaf.

Serve hot for dinner with rice and /or vegetables or cool and slice for sandwiches.
