A classic meatloaf contains bread crumbs, milk, ketchup, and brown sugar... Do you see or hear the warning signs yet?
Most of those ingredients are things of the past. And whether avoiding them in favor of losing weight or in desire to regain your health, approach them as you would gluten. But eating healthy doesn't have to be difficult, and it doesn't have to break the bank either.
Meatloaf happens to be a budget-friendly meal, and you can use whatever kind of ground meat you like; in fact, buffalo chicken meatloaf is a nice spicy version with plenty of hot pepper sauce.
However, in keeping with traditions, beef is a good starting point in terms of flavor, as well as the meat coming from a grass-fed animal.
It is also a great way to incorporate a healthy dose of vegetables into your protein, so if you want to sneak something in, think mushrooms or garlic, you can chop it small, and it will be eaten bite by bite.
In the past, you may have eaten meatloaf next to some variety of potato dishes. Now, you can easily replace that with cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower.
Meatloaf always accounts for leftovers, so for breakfast the next morning, why not warm up a slice of meatloaf and serve it with sliced avocado and a poached egg?
