Grass-fed Meat Loaf Like Beverly Makes

This recipe was the special request birthday supper for our son on his 5th and 6th birthdays. You know it is good when it wins out over all the other kid fare!

3/4 cup ketchup, divided

1/4 cup minced fresh onion

1 Tbs. dried parsley

1 Tbs. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 large egg whites

1 1/2 - 2 pounds Double R Cattle Services grass-fed ground beef

1/2 cup quick cooking oats

Non-stick spray

Preheat oven to 350^o.

Combine 1/2 cup ketchup, onion, parsley, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and egg whites in a large bowl. Stir well. Add meat and oats. Stir until just blended. Shape mixture into an 8 x 4-inch loaf on a broiler pan coated with non-stick spray. Brush remaining 1/4 cup ketchup over meatloaf. Bake at 350^o for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until done. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 6.

Grass-fed Beef Fajitas for Two

This is a favorite "go-to" meal when we know we need a quick supper. All the prep is done ahead of time and waiting for when we are ready to cook.

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup water

1 Tbs. prepared fajita seasoning (in the spice aisle)

1 Tbs. worcestershire sauce

1 pkg. of Double R Cattle Services grass-fed cube steak, sliced thin

Peppers and onions (fresh or frozen)*, sliced thin

Tortillas

Mix oil, water, seasoning, and worcestershire sauce in a zip-top bag. Add meat. Squeeze the air out and massage the meat around a little. Allow to marinate for several hours.

In a separate bag, mix a small amount of oil with a couple of shakes of fajita seasoning. Add peppers and onion. Allow to rest for several hours.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add meat and saute until almost done. Add peppers and cook until meat and veggies are done. Discard marinades.

Serve with tortillas and condiments of your choice.

* amount of peppers and onions is up to you. You could also put in other veggies like squash or zucchini.

Kids Chili

Ritchie calls this "Meat and Beans" because there is not much spice to it. You could easily increase the spice to make it more grown-up.

1 pound Double R Cattle Services grass-fed ground beef

1/2 large sweet onion, chopped

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 cups diced tomato

28 ounces kidney beans

Cook ground beef and onion in a dutch oven (or other large pot) until beef is brown and onion has softened. Add spices and stir. Mix in tomatoes and beans. Allow to simmer for at least an hour to let the flavors blend.

Serve plain with crackers or top with cheese, sour cream, or more onions.
