Mom's Meatloaf - by Lisa Clark, NTP

  • 2 lbs ground beef (bonus if it’s an organ meat blend!)

  • 2 eggs

  • 2-3 slices of sourdough bread, diced

  • 1/2 c diced onion

  • 1/2 c diced green pepper

  • 1/4 c ketchup

  • 1/4 c sugar (I have used honey, sorghum, apple butter, and organic sugar; all were delicious!)

  • 1/4 c cornmeal

  • 1/2 c grated cheddar cheese

  • Salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

  • Thoroughly combine all ingredients in a stand mixer or large mixing bowl.

  • Press the meatloaf mixture into a greased loaf pan.

  • Optional: Drizzle some ketchup in a zig zag pattern over the top.

  • Bake for 1-1.5 hours.

  • Allow to rest 10-15 minutes.

  • Enjoy and be nourished!

  • This recipe takes under 2 hours to make. I like it the day it is made, but it’s even better when made ahead and reheated!

    You can also use this recipe to make stuffed peppers by packing handfuls of the raw mixture into halved bell peppers, and baking them for about 50 minutes.

    This is the meatloaf recipe my husband grew up on and loves to this day. Let me know if you give it a try!
