Ingredients

Meatloaf:

  • 3 pounds grass fed ground beef with part ground beef heart if desired. You really can’t taste anything different, honest! Read You CAN Eat Beef Heart!
  • 3 cup organic bread crumbs or croutons, sometimes I’ll freeze the ends of the loaves of bread that no one wanted and crumble those up for bread crumbs.
  • 4 eggs eggs are SO good for you, any way you can get them!
  • 1 medium organic onion, chopped small--and/or 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon sea salt

Sauce for the top – mix these together in a small bowl:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375*. Mix meatloaf ingredients together in a bowl well--I often use my hands. Press into 2 bread pans.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Mix sauce ingredients together. (Or you could just use this BBQ sauce.) Remove pans from oven and put about 1/3 of the sauce on each loaf (reserving the other 1/3 of the sauce for dipping later) and bake another 10 minutes or until loaf registers an internal temp of 160*.
  • Serve meatloaf slices with extra dipping sauce. :)
