Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lb ground beef and/or ground sirloin
2 carrots
1 zucchini
1/2 apple, cored
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/4 c celery, chopped
1/2 c bread crumbs
1 egg
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic, crushed or minced
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp garam masala spice
1 1/2 c tomato sauce, divided
1/2 c cheddar/jack cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place meat in a large bowl, set aside.
  • 2. Using a blender or food processor, finely chop the zucchini, carrot and apple. Add to meat.
  • 3. Also add to the meat the celery, onion, bread crumbs, egg, worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, basil, garam masala, and a 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Blend well....don't be afraid to get you hands in there and mix it up thoroughly.
  • 4. Transfer meat to a 9x12 casserole dish and form a large rectangle, leaving approximately 1-2 inches around all sides.
  • 5. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. Tip: If too juicy, I like to remove the extra juices using a spoon or suction.

This meatloaf was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time.
