Mexican Meatloaf

Ingredients for the loaves:

1 lb ground beef

1 -2 slices of bread (original recipe suggested crush tortilla chips) I used low carb bread

Can black beans. Eyeball the amount you want. A whole can is not needed

Can corn. Eyeball the amount, whole can is not needed.

1 -2 eggs

salsa

1 packet taco seasoning

dash of milk. I used almond milk

Shredded cheddar cheese

Topping: red enchilada sauce and more cheddar cheese

Serving Suggestions: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, avocado slices

In a bowl place the bread and soak it in milk. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix using your hands. I make mini loaves and this made about 5. A few fell apart so I think I needed more egg and more bread to bind it together. The addition of the corn and black bean made it hard for them to stay together I think. Put the mini loaves on a sprayed sheet fan. Top with red enchilada sauce. When the loaves are done add cheese to the top and pop in the oven to melt. Serve with your favorite Mexican toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or just sliced avocado.

I had Wegmen's spanish cauliflower rice on the side. It is found in the freezer section. It tastes awesome and has similar ingredients to the meatloaf. It has corn and black beans already in it. The microwave bag makes 2 large helpings of rice.

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet. More info can be found here Thyroid Cancer Survivor Association I don't have thyroid cancer. I do have to have the same treatment as a thyroid cancer patient would have. Don't worry! I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread. I just threw a loaf of sliced wheat bread in the freezer for when the diet...
