Ingredients

  • 1.33 pounds organic ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½-3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning may substitute sage
  • 1-2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 10-12 green olives, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped onion, celery, & green peppers ½ cup total of the 3 veggies
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup gluten free oatmeal
  • ¼ cup ketchup (for topping) or more if you wish
  • 8 green olives, sliced slice each olive into 3 sections for top of meatloaf

Instructions

  • I start with a big bowl and spread out the ground beef around the bottom and sides of the bowl. Then I add the dry seasonings and the worcestershire and mix by hand literally getting my hands on the meat. Next I add the chopped vegetables and olives mixing that by hand as well. I beat the egg and add that in; then add the oatmeal. I mix by hand ‘til all the ingredients are blended.
  • I add the mixed meat, seasonings, and vegetables to a greased glass loaf pan shaping it in on sides. Last I add enough ketchup to cover the top surface of the meatloaf spreading it over the top with my fingers. Then I arrange the sliced olives on the top of the ketchup for a decorative topping. Bake for an hour at 350 degrees. Cool, pour off excess fat and you’re ready to serve your meat before it has time to loaf.

Notes

Optional: Add ¼ chopped tomatoes, if desired.
