1/2 cup minced onion
2 eggs

 

1-2 teaspoons Little Sky ground lavender
1 1/2 teaspoons leaf thyme, crushed
1 cup chopped roasted red bell pepper
      (we use bottled, although fresh is great too)

2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

~or~ Take YOUR favorite meatloaf and add ground lavender, thyme and chopped red bell pepper! The whole idea is to HAVE FUN COOKING!

How about a Stuffed Meatloaf ?

Prepare meat mixture, as above.
Put 1/2 the meat mixture into 9" x 5" baking pan.
Create a culvert in the meat mixture, sort of a pool ~ so-to-speak.
Add spinach (10 oz frozen package, thawed and well drained ~ squeezing out the extra water in a paper towel is great)
Slice mozzarella cheese and dice about 1-3 ounces, your choice!
Top with the rest of the meat mixture. Go around the edges of the pan, with your fingers, to seal the stuffing; otherwise when the meatloaf bakes the cheese melt outs... argh, gotta keep THAT from happenin'.
Bake 1 1/2 hours at
350° F.
