1 lb. ground beef at least 95% lean
1 c. low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 c. oats (not steel cut, rolled oats)
1 egg
That is it, that is all he put in there. Mix it up bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. He topped it with some organic ketchup. YUM!! Don't get me wrong, it tastes great just like this, but a bit of salt and papper, and maybe some grated onion would make it. Add your favorite spices, just use this as your base recipe. About 1/5 of the loaf is a good serving for you. That will give you plenty of protein for your meal. Don't worry, you (or your family) will never know that the cottage cheese is in there.
I LOVE this recipe. By using the cottage cheese, it adds great texture and moisture so you don't get that hard, firm lump of meat. Of course I spruced up the meatloaf recipe with a little lipton onion soup mix, mushrooms and worstershire sauce. I also made a red sauce using some organic kethup, tomatoes and some spices. This is really good and heats up well.
ReplyDeleteThis is yummy and even kid-endorsed! I made it for the family tonight and my daughter asked for a 2nd serving of the "Muscle Meatloaf"!!
ReplyDeleteKrissy, thanks for the red sauce idea. I made some of that, and also sauteed mushrooms in a little olive oil for my serving. Combine with some green beans and it was a great, filling meal!
Mine is in the oven right now. I used ground turkey though. My husband is sceptical (spelling?) of the oatmeal in it. Crossing my fingers it goes over well.
