Meatloaf this active Texas girl has got to have



This is a little recipe I whipped up for the family dinner last night . I prepared everything ahead of time for the hubs to put in the oven while I trained a client. It turned out quite excellent.

I recently purchased Flavor God's spices and they have saved me quite a bit of time and added so much flavor to my food. I'm ever so grateful for finding them on Instagram :)

The Ingredients:

2 lbs of Kolby Ground Beef
2 eggs
1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 of a thinly sliced zuccini
1/2 white onion, diced
1 heaping TBS minced garlic
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1 heaping TBS of Flavor God's Everything Seasoning
1/4 tsp of cayenne

spray your pan (I used a glass dish) with cooking spray or grease up with a little olive oil

mix meat and veggies in a bowl with 2 eggs then add the seasonings and incorporate well

with your hands, mold the meat into a loaf and place in your pan

sprinkle the top with some more sea salt and Flavor God Everything Seasoning

bake in the oven on 375 for 45min or until meat is done (no longer pink and hot in the middle- use a meat thermometer)

if a lot of fat is in the bottom of your dish you may want to put your loaf on a rack in your pan to get it out of the excess fat.

Remember to buy organic fruits and vegetables when available and your meat and eggs should be grass fed, grain free- no corn

doesn't beef contain a lot of fat, and therefore will make me fat? umm, yes beef contains fat. NO! it will NOT make you fat. If you are eating more calories than required of ANYTHING you will gain weight. The body needs healthy fat every day. Healthy fat does not make you fat.

 if you make this dish, let me know in the comments below :)

I failed to take a picture of this dish- as the family was hovering around the kitchen waiting upon my arrival so that they could eat. I plan on taking a picture of the leftover and updating this post :)
