Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds ground meat

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup bread crumbs, plain or seasoned

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • dash of black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Baked Vegetable Orzo

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 bell peppers, diced

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 cubes Dorot Gardens Basil

Directions

Prepare the Meatloaf

1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Mix together all the meatloaf ingredients till combined. Try not to overmix.

3.

Form into a loaf and spread some more BBQ sauce on top. Cover and bake 40 minutes. Uncover, add on more BBQ sauce if you’d like and then bake another 10 minutes.  

Prepare the Baked Vegetable Orzo

1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

In a 9×13 baking dish, mix together the oil, vegetables, salt, basil, and garlic.

3.

Cook for about 10 minutes uncovered till the vegetables have softened a bit. Mix in the orzo and cover with water. Cover the pan tightly and bake about 30 minutes or until the orzo is soft. If there is liquid leftover in the pan, that’s fine.

4.

Once you remove from oven, uncover and mix. Then cover back up and allow to sit a few minutes until the liquid is more absorbed.

Can I sub the orzo for white or brown rice instead using same grain: water ratio?

For sure you can sub the orzo for rice, and yes, the water: grain ratio stays the same.

Both are in the recipe to enhance the flavor and texture of the meatloaf. Don’t skip either.
