Spicy Meatloaf Nourishing Traditions Recipes

SPICY MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion, shredded carrots, and diced celery. Cook until nice and soft. Then add the salt, thyme, and cayenne. Stir, stir baby.
• While the veggies are cooking, mix the bread crumbs, milk, and egg together in a bowl. Don't do what I did and do it in a tupperware, which could make the following steps much more difficult.
• Once the veggies are cooked and slightly cooled, mix them into the milk/egg/breadcrumb mixture. Then, add your meat. And your fish sauce. Mix with your hands - it's just easier that way.
• Shape the mound of meat into a nice little loaf and bake at 375 degrees for about an hour and a half, or until cooked thoroughly.

• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
