Healthy Meatloaf

This meatloaf has so many goodies in it i just call it health loaf! Everyone that has ever tried it loves it, and they are shocked when i tell them how many superfoods are hidden inside. I like to use venison, and i grind several pounds at once and divide it into loaves and freeze it. An alternative might be to use a food processor for the nuts and vegetables, then mix as you normally would. Then on meatloaf night, i thaw one out and throw it in the oven. These amounts are an estimate, i try to gauge how well the ground meat will stay together. Add an extra egg or a little extra oatmeal if you feel it's necessary. Other additions i'm considering: tofu, black beans.

Steps

Grind or process all ingredients together.
Shape into loaves according to your family size.
I have even read about baking meatloaf in muffin tins.
Bake at 350 until center reaches 160 , usually about 30 minutes.
