It was my son’s 3rd birthday and I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner. “Meatloaf!!” he cried. I was shocked to learn that my meatloaf was his favorite meal, especially since I hide lots of chopped spinach inside of it. But I have to say that it is really good, and the best part is how easy it is. And unless you have a lumberjack coming for dinner (or a VERY hungry husband) it could last for a few days. I usually serve it with a simple salad of lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes with a sprinkle of himalayan sea salt and fresh ground pepper and a lemon juice and olive oil dressing, and sweet potato “fries,” which are just thinly sliced sweet potato covered in olive oil and more Himalayan sea salt baked at 400 degrees until they are just as you like them. I hope your family likes this as much as mine does!
HM’s Secret Spinach Meatloaf
2 pounds of organic ground turkey or grass fed beef
1 cup of defrosted, frozen chopped spinach
1/4 cup of bread crumbs (you can sub in oat flour, almond meal or gluten free bread crumbs)
1 lightly beaten egg
couple good slugs of worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
salt and pepper
Here’s what you do:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients together, bake for an hour and voila! While the meatloaf is baking I get everything else done so everything is usually ready at the same time.
Have had the pleasure of eating this meatloaf and it is delicious! Happy to have the recipe.
