Veggie Meatloaf

To make a veggie meatloaf will take you just an hour at most. Then each slice you eat will just be 2-3 carbs maximum and you’ll be able to get around 8 slices out of it.

So what do you need?

1 Pound of lean ground beef
1 Pound of ground chicken
1 beaten large egg
1 red pepper (large)
1 diced onion
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons of diced carrots
1 celery stalk
Quarter of a cup of mozzarella cheese
Quarter of a cup of grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon beef boullion powder
Parsley and salt and pepper to season

And then what to do with it all:

Add all the meat into a bowl and mix together with the egg. Then add the veggies into a saucepan and sauté them with a small amount of butter until they are soft. Leave them to cool for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the meat. Then mix it all together properly (yes, you’ll have to get your hands dirty!). Once you have done this, add all the other ingredients except for the cheese. Then add the entire mixture into a loaf shaped tin and put the cheese on top. Put it to one side and turn on your oven to 375 degrees F and allow it to preheat. Then put the meatloaf into the oven for around 45 minutes.

Take it out and enjoy!
