Meatloaf

For this recipe I use grass fed beef, free range eggs, and organic ingredients.  I really enjoy this recipe, it has been my most successful meatloaf yet.

     Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs ground beef (grass fed)
  • 2 lg onions
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c Rolled Oats
  • 1 T dry parsley
  • 1 1/4 c ketchup (I use my homemade ketchup)
  • 3/4 c bbq sauce (I use my homemade bbq of course 😉
  • salt & pepper & turmeric to taste (I try to put at least a little turmeric in everything b/c of its anti-carcinogenic properties in case you were wondering why it kept popping up lol)

Chop onion, mix all ingredients, adding sauces gradually until desired consistency.  Bake at 350º until done (usually about an hour). You can mix this recipe up the night before and allow to sit overnight, or even freeze it in the loaves then thaw the day before you want to bake it. Serve with veggies of choice!

Beef BBQ

Okay, I’ll admit it, I am a bbq junky! I love bbq anything! I have recently taken to making up my own bbq sauces when I’m cooking because we don’t care for the store bought organic varieties much.  Hope you enjoy this one, I know I did.

Beef BBQ

  • 2 lbs stewing beef (I use grass fed pastured beef)
  • 3-4 c chicken broth (I use organic free-range)
  • seasonings for cooking beef: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, turmeric, dry mustard, chili powder
  • seasonings for bbq sauce: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, turmeric, chili powder
  • ketchup
  • honey
  • liquid smoke

Slow cook beef in chicken broth and seasonings for cooking beef on low for 4-6 hours or until fully cooked but tender and juicy.  Drain meat and pull apart into shreds.  For the sauce, I mixed ketchup honey and seasonings for bbq sauce with a few drops of liquid  smoke, I am sorry I don’t have more accurate measurements, I have a bad habit of dash it, mix it, taste kind of cooking.
