Laura’s Meat Loaf
Laura's Meat Loaf
Ingredients:
- 1 Lb ground beef
- ½ cup chopped frozen spinach, thawed
- 1 ½ tsp chipotle seasoning or 1 small seasoning cube
- ½ cup skim milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cubed whole wheat bread
- ¼ cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Barbeque sauce or ketchup to top with ( I do half with each to make everyone happy
Cooking Instructions:
1. Mix ground beef, spinach, milk, eggs, bread, cheese and seasonings until just blended and place in loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes, top loaf with ½ cup of barbeque sauce or ketchup and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and let the meat loaf rest for a few minutes before serving (this helps it to hold together). I serve my Meat loaf with brown rice.
Healthy Heart Tip:
My family loves this meat loaf. Ground beef does have some fat but the supper lean kind does not hold together well for a meat loaf. I put spinach in it and my children keep asking for more. God is so great that He gave us imaginations to use in cooking. With a little creativity you can have a delicious meal that is good for your body too. We only have one body while we are here on earth and God tells us to take care of it. It is a great adventure, this life we have been blessed with.
