Happy Monday, Everybody!
I invented this meatloaf last night as my husband had been wistfully longing for meatloaf the day before. Both my daughters then whined about how much they hate meatloaf, but they somehow managed to eat it anyway. I paired this dish with steamed green beans and sweet potato fries.
Venison Chili Meatloaf:
1 pound ground venison (or buffalo, or lamb, or pork, or turkey, you get the idea!)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup rolled oats
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or yogurt or buttermilk
1 T. chili powder
2 T. taco seasoning
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. seasoned salt (low sodium) or sea salt
1/4 t. ground cayenne pepper
1 t. garlic powder or chopped fresh garlic
1 pound frozen mixed peppers and onions (fire-roasted, from Trader Joe's)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oats in large bowl and cover with milk. Let sit for 10 minutes so oats absorb liquid. Crack 4 eggs into oats and mix well. Add all spices and stir. Saute frozen peppers and onions in 1 t. olive oil until all water evaporates. Mix peppers and meat into oats and combine well. Shape into a round loaf and bake in well-greased cast iron skillet for about 1 hour or slightly longer. Should be browned on top and thoroughly cooked inside. Slice into 8 even servings. Each serving is about 3 blocks of protein and 1 block of carbs. There is plenty of fat as well! Serve with 2 veggies, a one block serving of each. Enjoy!
