Meatloaf

Adapted from "500 baby & toddler dishes" by Beverley Glock


3/4 cup shredded onion
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup frozen organic spinach
12 oz lean ground beef
1/2 t assorted dried herbs (I used basil, oregano and parsley)
pinch cinnamon
2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs (I used two toasted burger buns and 1 slice toasted bread)
4 T grated mozzarella
1/2 cup milk
1 egg


Preheat oven to 350.

Peel carrot, chop into large pieces and put through a food processor to grate.  Do the same with onion.

Defrost spinach.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, then press into greased pan.  Bake for 60-75 minutes until cooked through.


Difficulty
Easy (with use of food processor)
Does it freeze well? 
Yes 
Would I eat it?
Yes
Does A like it?
Yes

Notes: I totally forgot to put the milk into this, so I'll have to see how it turns out.  The consistency seemed all right though.  I also covered it with aluminum foil while cooking so it didn't dry out.  I cooked it for 75 minutes, then removed the foil and cooked for 7 additional minutes.
