WFMW - 10 minute meatloaf

10 Minute Meatloaf

Here is my mother’s recipe for 10 minute meatloaf. I have changed the ingredients because my hubby just recently told me he would eat peppers and mushrooms if they were chopped up finely. And I LOVE peppers! The peppers make it have a spicy flavor.

1 lb of ground beef

1 egg

1/2 cup oatmeal

Red, Green and Yellow peppers

BBQ Sauce and Ketchup

add/substitute any other ingredients you like - mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, onion, etc ( I also chop up things that are in the fridge and may not get eaten for leftovers - we had shika bobs one night and I chopped all the leftover food into the meatloaf) I definitely have to buy one of those books about pureeing food into meals to make it healthier - that would be a good one for my boys. Does anyone have a suggestion on their favorite book?

Chop up peppers. In a dish, put ground meat, peppers, egg, oatmeal, ketchup and bbq sauce. Mix with fingers until all is mixed really well. Put in (spray with pam) microwavable safe dish. Create a hole in the middle of the meatloaf (looks like a bagel) so that it will cook all sides. Cover and put in microwave for 10 minutes, rotating after 5 minutes (unless you have one of those cool lazy susan things).

I serve it with steamed broccoli and usually any leftovers we have. The other night we had leftover corn and mashed potatoes. This is a great way to get my boys to eat leftovers - mix them with new stuff.

TIP - these also make really great burgers! Just use less ketchup and bbq sauce so it thickens and becomes patty-like.
