Since I've gotten several requests for the Meatloaf and Turkey Pie recipe. I thought I'd put them in a post.

We try to cook low fat, so these are the healthy versions.

Craig always modifies recipes.

Stuffed Meatloaf

1lb. extra lean ground beef

1lb Lean Hot Italian Turkey Sausage(casings removed)

dehydrated onion

3/4 cup grated zucchini

3/4 cup grated carrots

1-16oz can of pinto beans(drained and smashed)

2 eggs

large bottle of red wine(whatever you favorite is)

Topping,

I can tomato paste

1 cup spaghetti sauce

1 can sliced mushrooms

mix all ingredients in a bowl(except wine and topping), cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Drink a glass of the wine.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 12oz pkg of Kraft free shredded cheddar cheese with enough Egg Beaters to moisten. Drink a glass of wine.

On waxed paper, sprayed with cooking spray, spread the meat mixture out to about 1 inch thick.

Spread cheese over the meat leaving 1 inch from edges.

Roll into a log and put in a casserole dish. Seal the ends by pinching the meat together.

Bake at 350 for an hour and. Have a glass or 2 of wine.

Remove from oven(Careful, it will be hot!)

Spread topping over the top, bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until done. Have another glass of wine.

Remove from oven(careful, still hot! use oven mitts!)

Enjoy with a glass of wine(if you have any left!)
