Meatloaf

Posted on by Annie Eskeldson

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!
