Recipe: Mustard Meatloaf - It's Really Tasty!

The mustard gives it a surprisingly great flavor!

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 lbs chopped/minced beef (prefer 85% lean)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (level teaspoon)
• 2 heaping Tablespoons of seeded mustard
• 1 heaping Tablespoon of mustard (a strong mustard works best! ex: Dijon)
• NOTE: If you don’t have seeded mustard, use 2 heaping Tablespoons of the strong mustard.
• 1 shallot or small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs (seasoned)+ extra for dusting top
• 2 eggs

DIRECTIONS

• 1 In a bowl, crack the eggs, add the salt and all the mustard; gently whip using a fork.
• 2 Add the bread crumbs and the shallot/onion and blend using the fork
• 3 Add the meat and, by hand, mix very well.
• 4 Place plastic wrap on the meat to cover and set in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• 5 PREHEAT oven 350 degrees (180 C or Gas Mark 4)
• 6 Lightly oil a baking dish
• 7 Take meat mixture out, remove plastic wrap and shape the meat into either 1 large meat loaf or two smaller ones.
• 8 Set the loaf/loaves in the baking dish and lightly sprinkle bread crumbs on top. This gives a nice “crust” to the meatloaf during baking.
• 9 Bake for 1hr 30 min - let rest 5 minutes and serve.
• 10 I usually bake 2 small loaves: one to eat and one to freeze. The small loaf is enough for two people. Serve with veggies and a side of salad! Enjoy

You can use this recipe for burgers also:  instead of eggs, use 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, use only 1/4 cup of bread crumbs in the meat mix.  Grill or fry up your burgers for a very diferent flavor!
