Pepper Coast Meatloaf

Sprinkle Plenty and as much David’s Devil Dust as you like!

I was on a temporary restriction to eat only soft foods so why not meat loaf?  I made our Pepper Coast Meatloaf no nuts this time.  One pound of beef, one pound of dark turkey. Lots of spinach and arugula in the middle, a 5 oz package. I wanted something hotter so I added one tablespoon of David’s Devil Dust in with the Sprinkle Plenty. Did not quite fill 9 x 5 pans I picked. Could have used the slightly smaller 4 1/2 by 8 1/2 or whatever they are. Convection Roast at  350 F for.  55 mins.  

Not any drippings to pour off. Made gravy with oil, flour, chicken stock and then added Super Mole sauce I get from Mexican Grocer. Super simple, really good.   Did our favorite Italian Asparagus with Lemon, used a good bit of diced up preserved lemon. I made some preserved lemons back in the fall, and sometimes when I dice some up there are leftovers. So I keep them in small jar and find all sorts of opportunities to use them.  Was good.  

Here is the recipe I created long ago, that is still my guide.  

Pepper Coast Meatloaf Servings: 8  

  • 3/4 lb ground chuck (your choice)
  • 3/4 lb ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 c onions, chopped
  • 1 c salt free seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2/3 c ketchup
  • 2/3 c parsley sprigs, chopped
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 jalapenos, chopped
  • 1/2 c pine nuts, toasted
  • 3 tbsp Sprinkle Plenty
  • 1/2 lb spinach, chopped
  • 3 scallions, chopped  

  You can choose a combination of ground meats such as chuck, round sirloin and/or turkey. Place all of the ingredients except the spinach and scallions in a large bowl and kneed with your hands until everything is blended but do not over mix. To assemble place one half of the mixture in a well greased loaf pan, add a layer of chopped spinach and chopped scallions, finish with remaining meat mixture, mounding in the center. Bake in oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours at 350 degrees. Pour off any excess fat and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
