my mom’s meatloaf

admin

This recipe is an adaptation of the “Not Your Mom’s Meatloaf” from the BLE cookbook. But it IS my mom’s meatloaf…hahaha!

Start with 2lbs (32oz) of ground beef. Add in 1 egg and 4oz marinara sauce.

Measure 6oz cooked cauliflower rice and add to ground beef mixture.

Next you are going to add in your spices (dried onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper) and mix thoroughly.

Divide the mixture in half and make 2 loaves on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remove from the oven and add 4oz of marinara (split between the 2 loaves) and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (also split). Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes.

A 5oz serving will be your full protein and 1oz vegetables. Add another 13oz (pictures 5oz asparagus and an 8oz salad) and you will have a complete BLE Women’s weight loss portion dinner. Recipe to follow.
