Italian Garden Meatloaf (low carb)
Originally posted by Ginger Carroll Morris
2 lbs. lean ground Beef
1 cup carrots-chopped fine
1 entire celery heart-chopped fine
1 medium onion-chopped fine
1 pint of mushrooms-chopped fine
1 jar of organic spaghetti sauce-halved-or make your own
3 cloves garlic-pressed
Salt to taste-I used about 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt
A handful of fresh basil-chopped
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
3-4 slices of aged provolone cheese (or just use more mozzarella)
2 eggs-whisked
Mix all ingredients together leaving half of spaghetti sauce and the provolone for an hour or so before serving. Cook in crock pot on low for 6 hours or so. In the last hour or so top with last half of spaghetti sauce and place provolone slices on top and let melt. Is NOT a dry meatloaf and makes lots of juice or sauce. After cooking if stored in fridge the fat will rise to the top and be removed then reheated for a more low fat method. It is considered low carb due to not having any binder like breadcrumbs, just the eggs. Great served with green salad. Very good! Even my picky 2 year old and 8 year old love it!
