Clean Meatloaf

This recipe is adapted from a recipe I received from a friend of mine. By far and away, the BEST meatloaf I have had in my life. It’s so light and moist.

Meatloaf

1 lb of organic, lean ground beef
4 slices of whole wheat bread ground into crumbs (should be about 2 cups of soft breadcrumbs)
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp Italian spices
2 TB of fresh parsley, chopped fine
½ tsp pepper
1 garlic glove, minced
¾ cup of unsweetened almond milk (any milk can be used here)
¼ cup onion, diced

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of a bread loaf pan with coconut oil.
 
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients by hand. Be careful to mix until all items are just combined. If you over mix, the meatloaf will be tough.
Place the meat mixture into the loaf, and bake for about 1 hour. You want the meatloaf to be crisp on top and the internal temp to be 160 degrees.
I like my top to be crispy, so I don’t put ketchup on it. However, while eating I do like it with a side of ketchup. Right now I use Heinz organic, but I am working on my own recipe. I served this meal with baked sweet potatoes and steamed green beans.
Make about 6 servings.
