Each month I will have another healthy, clean food recipe for you to try.
This one is a perfect 'prepare- ahead + freeze' recipe.
MEAT LOAF MUFFINS
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup grated carrots
1 minced garlic clove
1 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 lb ground beef,extra lean
1/2 c whole wheat bread crumbs
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with hands, do not over mix. Lightly grease a 6 cup or 12 cup muffin tray and fill with mixture. Place in oven for 40 minutes or until thermometer reads 160 degrees. Remove from oven and wait 10 minutes before removing from muffin tray.
TIPS:
Double the recipe + freeze what you do not eat for a fast lunch or dinner.
Try turkey, chicken or bison instead of beef.
Use grated beets, chopped spinach or any other veggie in place of carrots.
Enjoy!
