Craig's Autumn Meatloaf

Yields1 Serving
  1 lb. Lean ground beef
  1 large onion, chopped
  2 garlic cloves, minced
  3 cups grated or minced fall veggies (carrots, potatoes, celeriac, turnips, rutabaga, spinach, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts all work well) You can use a food processor or hand-pushed veggie chopper for this part if you like
  1 teaspoon dried oregano
  ½ Tb Worcestershire sauce
  1 Tb Stone ground or Dijon mustard
  1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  1/4 cup milk
  2 eggs
  Salt and pepper
  Canola oil
1

Heat about 1 Tb canola oil in a heavy skillet.  Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes.  Then add garlic and vegetables and sauté another 10 minutes to soften.  Stir in oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.  Set aside to cool.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, milk and eggs and let sit for 5 minutes.

5

When veggies are slightly cooled, combine ground beef, breadcrumb mixture, veggie mixture, Worcestershire, mustard, and a pinch more salt and pepper.  It’s easiest if you just get in there and use your hands.
