Locally Sourced Meatloaf

6 to 8 servings

Ingredients
1 pound Lil Ponderosa ground beef
1 cup whole rolled oats
2 carrots (Dickinson College Farm)
3 ribs celery (Lancaster Farm Fresh co-operative [LFFC])
3/4 red onion (LFFC)
4 cloves garlic (Dickinson College Farm)
1/2 cup heavy cream (LFFC)
2 Tbsp Bragg Liquid Amino
1-1/2 Tbsp Wizard Vegan Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp organic ketchup, plus more for topping
2 Tbsp brandy (optional)
1 tsp Eden stoneground mustard
2 eggs (Trickling Springs Creamery)
1 Tbsp olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Dice all vegetables to your liking. Heat large sauté pan on medium-high. Add olive oil and vegetables to the pan. Sauté until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add brandy and set aside to cool. (If omitting brandy, use same amount of organic vegetable or chicken stock.)

In a separate mixing bowl, add eggs and whisk. Add cream, oats, Bragg, ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Let stand to allow oats to absorb liquid. Once cooled, add vegetables and ground beef to mixture. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.

Place in glass baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Add additional ketchup on top and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, until browned on top and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly. Serve with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach.
