Meal Plan Monday: February 17th, 2014

Ok, guys. This is the big one. This is one of my most coveted recipes in my family. My meatloaf. Are you excited? It is tasty, less greasy than you might think, and I've even been known to get creative with the look.


Cabbage Rolls

Pad Thai

Pumpkin Quinoa White Bean Chili

Potato Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Skillet

Sloppy Lennys

Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes

1lb ground beef
1lb ground pork or sausage
2 cups gf bread crumbs (I like to freeze bread heels, then give a spin in the food processor) OR 1 cup gf rolled oats
1 egg
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp rosemary
1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup ketchup
1lb bacon (you may not need it all, but you might WANT it all.)

Add all ingredients, except the bacon, to a large mixing bowl. Gently combine, by hand (use gloves if you feel squeamish) until JUST mixed. Gently form in to desired size loaf/loaves and place on a broiler pan, or a cookie sheet with wire racks. Gently wrap bacon around loaf. Bake at 350 until meat thermometer in the middle registers 165 (Will vary based on loaf size.)
