Here is a great alternative to using ground beef in your meatloaf that is not only healthy but damn tasty!

Even though your mother may have made Meatloaf a weekly staple at your dinner table growing up, it’s doesn’t mean you have to follow her old fashion secret recipe.

(Pssst…she probably used the recipe off the back of onion soup mix;-)

A lot of people use onion soup mix in dips, burgers and meatloaf to enhance the flavor. It might give it flavor, but it’s ARTIFICIAL flavor, not too mention the terrible gas it will give you when all those dried onion bits and chemicals explode in your stomach…trust me on this one.

Just take a look at all the artificial ingredients in a pack of onion soup mix!

Ingredients:
Onions (deyhydrated), salt, cornstarch, onion powder, sugar, corn syrup, hydrolyzed soy protein, caramel color, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, natural flavors, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate.

So follow recipes like this Tasty Turkey Meatloaf that uses natural ingredients for flavor to cover your health and hunger.

Meatloaf can definitely be a man made meal as it’s super simple to prepare and is great to make ahead of time for busy dads and when the whole family comes home starving and hits the kitchen like contestants voted off The Biggest Loser…

This recipe is full of big meaty flavor and is a deeply satisfying meal that is high in lean protein to build those biceps, not balloon your belly…
