Beef Meatloaf

2 lbs of hamburger meat

1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

2 tbl fresh thyme (1 tsp dried)

2 tbl fresh sage (1 tsp dried)

1 tbl marjoram (½ tsp dried)

2 tsp dried mustard

2 cups of gluten free Crispy Rice cereal

2 whole eggs

Thaw hamburger in the refrigerator or microwave.  Combine the meat and spices in a bowl and mix thoroughly to distribute the spices throughout the meat.  In a separate bowl, combine the Rice Crispies and eggs and stir until coated.  Add to the egg mixture to the meat and combine.  Form into loafs and place into a baking dish.  Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.

Variations

Tomato sauce can be spread over the beef loaves before baking for something different.

Also, the recipe can be converted to an Italian meatball recipe by replacing the thyme, sage and marjoram with Italian seasoning.  Form into meatballs and bake for 45 minutes at 350F.   Add to prepared tomato sauce and serve over pasta.

In our house, we use gluten free Crispy Rice as filler but bread crumbs work well too.
