It's meatloaf night at the DeeLee house! BUT, I got home and realized I didn't have any bread crumbs! Sooooo...I took the Crunchy Green Bean snack I told you about earlier and crushed them up. They worked perfectly as a replacement for bread crumbs, and I know it's all healthy too!
Then, I realized I didn't have any tomato paste. So, I went searching through the fridge and found homemade apple butter! Perfect! It will act as a thickening agent!
DeeLee's Meatloaf Recipe
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1/4 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 apple
1 handful fresh parsley
1 egg
2 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
4 tbs. beef stock
1 tbs. homemade apple butter
1 tbs. thyme
1 cup ground Crunchy Green Bean snack (replacement for bread crumbs)
salt and pepper
Saute onion, apple, and garlic until tender. Add thyme, worcestershire, beef stock and let reduce for 1 minute. Then, add homemade apple butter.
Add sauted mixture to large bowl with ground beef, egg, ground green beans, fresh parsley, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients, then form into a loaf on a large baking sheet.
Bake 350 and hour. In the last 15 minutes, add topping. Recipe below:
Meatloaf topping:
2 tbs. ketchup
1/2 tbs. sirachi (I like it HOT! You can skip and just add more ketchup.)
1 tbs. honey
couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce
I wasn't feeling my best yesterday, plus it was cold outside. It seemed like the perfect day to whip up a hearty tomato soup. Plus, I really needed some greens in my diet and no meat. This soup is so yummy! I even convinced my FBP to eat...
