Lasagna Meatloaf

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Nutella Cookies

LASAGNA MEATLOAF

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 lbs. ground beef chuck

4 ounces mushrooms, chopped

2 tablespoons coconut brown sugar or regular brown sugar

¾ cup of your favorite marinara sauce

2 eggs

2 teaspoons dried oregano

½ cup chopped, fresh basil

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 teaspoons each of salt & pepper

1 cup each of marinara and mozzarella cheese for the top of the meatloaf

Place parchment paper or nonstick foil on a jelly roll pan and set aside.  Heat the olive oil in a skillet and sauté’ the onion for 5 minutes then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.  Remove from heat.  In a large bowl, mix the ground beef and next 8 ingredients together.  Now add the onion and garlic and mix very well.  Turn the mixture out onto the parchment-lined pan and shape into a rectangle about 1” high.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  Take out of the oven and pour 1 cup of marinara over the top of the meatloaf and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.  Return to the oven and bake 15 more minutes.  Let the meatloaf sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.  For a gluten-free meal, serve with spaghetti squash.

CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST

2 (12-ounce) bags of bagged cauliflower, riced (you can find this by the bagged salad)

2 eggs, beaten

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 400.  “Riced” just means placing the cauliflower in a food processor and pulsing it for a few seconds until it looks like rice.  Place riced cauliflower into a large bowl and add remaining ingredients.  Divide the mixture and turn it out onto a large parchment-lined cookie sheet or jellyroll pan.  You MUST use the parchment paper or it will not bake properly.  Shape the 2 crusts gently into a round crust, creating edges—just as you would regular pizza dough.  It’s going to feel like a strange consistency, but I promise, it will bake up like real pizza crust J Bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Start watching it after 15 minutes.  Take out of the oven and let it cool completely.  Now add your favorite sauce and pizza toppings and bake for 10 minutes.

NUTELLA COOKIES

1 cup Nutella

1-cup oat flour

1 egg

½ cup white chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together.  Take a teaspoon full and roll it up in a ball.  Place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes.  Makes about 14 cookies. (Note: they need to completely cool before removing from the pan)
