Having five kids makes dinner time a little complicated and stressful pretty much every night!! I have one child that won’t eat any fruits or veggies, one that won’t eat any meat, there’s always something that someone doesn’t like.  Alas, there is one dinner that all my kids will eat other than pizza…score!!  Sometimes I forget about my meatloaf recipe but when I do remember, it’s always a hit, super easy, and most likely I always have the ingredients…score again!!!  Tonight I decided to make the meatloaf with half ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey, which I’ve never done before and it turned out amazing and packed full of protein!

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey

Meatloaf is seriously the easiest meal, it’s as simple as throwing all ingredients in a bowl, mixing it up and throwing it in the oven.  Here is the ground beef and turkey, eggs, onion soup mix, eggs, and oatmeal.

All ingredients mixed together

You have to jump in and get your hands dirty.  I mix all my ingredients really well with my hands, much easier than using a utensil.  Don’t forget to wash your hands!

All finished!  Mmm I love this classic dish full of awesome protein and there were plenty of leftovers for lunch! Woot woot

Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground turkey

1 package onion soup mix

3 eggs

1 1/2 c dry oatmeal

2 tsp dijon mustard

Combine all ingredients and mix (using your hands) until ingredients are completely combined.  Add meat mixture into a loaf pan, cover with tin foil, and place in oven.  I left the meatloaf in for 45 minutes but took the foil off for the last 5 minutes.
