Ingredients
-

1 cup organic low sodium beef broth

Directions
Preheat oven or air fryer to 350°
Add broth or water to a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Saute the onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, and oregano with the broth/water for about 10 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature
While the onion mixture is cooling, cover a jelly roll pan or other rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly mist with avocado oil (non-aerosol)
In a medium sized bowl, combine beef, egg, onion mixture, milled flaxseed, and ½ of the tomato sauce
Mix well and form into one large or two smaller loaves and place on the foil line pan. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and place in the oven for about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and serve

This meatloaf was absolutely delicious. For some reason it didn’t hold to form – it was very crumbly.
Any suggestions?
I followed the recipe but added an extra egg and 1/2 pound ground venison to add more protein. It was delicious and my husband and I were surprised by how juicy it was. Loved it!
So, what I did was make it with ground turkey, shape into 4 patties and cook in frying pan. The meat is very well seasoned and moist. Can be eaten with salad or veg on the side, or as a sandwich on toasted sd bread.
I used flax seed meal and fresh lemon thyme with this recipe. I also crushed fresh tomatoes and used a little stevia with spicey mustard for the sauce on top. It turned out really good.
For some reason, the meatloaf was not well seasoned for me. Perhaps I’ll try the Panko next time & add more seasoning.
