Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 2 lbs organic beef
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup filtered water
• 1/2 cup fresh pureed Butternut Squash
• 3 slices gluten free bread, diced into small squares
• 1 tsp each thyme, rosemary, basil, salt, pepper (all to taste and to allergies)
• an extra 1/2 cup of fresh pureed Butternut Squash for topping (if desired)

DIRECTIONS:

• Tip a large mixing bowl in order to add the chia seeds on the side of the bowl.
• Whisk in the water and let the ‘chia eggs’ gel. When the chia mixture is firm, set the bowl down on its bottom. ( I do this to avoid having to use/wash an extra bowl to mix chia eggs)
• Mix in 1/2 cup of fresh pureed Butternut Squash.
• Add all seasonings.
• Add the diced bread. Mix well.
• Add in the beef and continue to mix well, probably with hands.
• Bake at 375 for 1 hour.
• Spread on topping and bake 20 minutes more.

DISHING ON THIS DISH: Kind of funny, but I switched phones while starting this blog and so many photos of my dishes were on my old phone. I wasn’t able to email them to myself (without swapping SIM cards) so I figured I’d take a pic of my pic. I forgot to edit out my cell phone. Oh well. The meatloaf is absolutely as good as it looks. Enjoy!
