You may think that this meatloaf sucks because it doesn’t have anything to bind it together, but you’re wrong. You’re dead wrong. It does stay together. And it tastes probably way better than it looks. Promise swear.
The other day, as I typed on this here computer at my kitchen table, I looked outside just in time to see a goose land on the top of my car. On my sunroof to be exact. It was closed, just FYI. As he waddled around on the top of the car, I thought about yelling at him. But then I would be the person yelling at a goose. And no one wants to be that guy. So I just watched to see what he would do. And he did exactly what you would think a goose would do in this situation. He shat on my car. Straight up, took a poop directly on the top of my sunroof. And it wasn’t like the normal goose poop you see in the park. No no. It was the runny kind. Like what you find in newborn baby’s diaper. Gross. I went directly to the gas station and used the good ole’ squiggy to clean that poo up. And leave it on a squiggy for the next lucky devil.
I just told an entire story about goose poop. Wow.
I’m so excited it’s summer. That means lake time. And you may wonder what I’m talking about since CO kind of lacks in lakes. But there are lakes out there, small ones, but they are bodies of water that you can boat on. I’ve decided that I don’t need to try to wakeboard any longer. If I would have started much younger, when my ligaments and bones moved like they were suppose to, then wakeboarding would be much easier. But now, when it hurts to sit in a squat, it seems like a much better decision to try surfing instead. And just stick to watching the badasses wakeboard. This is what badass looks like.
This is what I look like. Remember, this is surfing, when the boat is going probably 10 miles per hour. And you’re holding on a rope 2 feet away from the boat. And that’s a beer bong. Not a lake snake. Oh, the things that Lake Powell will make you try.
I kinda want some chocolate.
Summer Breakfast Meatloaf (egg free, nut free)
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 10–12 ounces bulk pork breakfast sausage
- 1 tablespoon bacon fat (or other fat)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 4 ounces of button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fat along with 2 garlic cloves and diced onion.
- Once the onions begins to become translucent, add diced zucchini and cover to help steam the zucchini.
- After about 3-4 minutes, add the mushrooms on top and cover again for about 4-5 more minutes.
- Once vegetables have softened, add in parsley, basil, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Mix well then remove from heat to cool.
- Once vegetables are cool, add ground beef, breakfast sausage, and cooled vegetables to a large bowl and get dirty with your hands. Mix well to combine, trying not to squish the zucchini too much.
- Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper and place the meat mixture into the dish. Press firmly to make sure it all sticks together and to keep it from falling apart.
- Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until meat presses back at you when you poke it.
- Let sit for 10 minutes after baking.
- Eat with some avocado on top. And fruit on the side. What up breakfast!?!?

You keep mentioning your new, cute car but you’ve never told us what kind of car you bought. We’ve seen your awesome bike so I think you should post a pic of your new car!
Um. A) Breakfast is whatever you want it to be. Veggies for breakfast=good start.
B) Fat good. Traditional meatloaf with breadcrumbs bad.
C) Thank you for your hard work. You are awesome.
That is all.
I love it when i have leftover dinner for breakfast, so this is awesome! Great way to start your day! Thank you, Juli!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Also as a birthday present my mom sent me your cookbook, which is amazing. I really appreciate your take on the paleo diet and most of all your humor! Reminds me to laugh at myself and have a mimosa and not cry when I eat a piece of bread. Your the best!
Great looking recipe. Can’t wait to try it. I’d ditch the foil though. It’s got stuff (other than the aluminium) that can leach into food.
So has ordinary parchment paper. I use an uncoated one. Thanks for the great site.
I love the breakfast idea! It’s such a nice change from eggs 🙂
So GOOD! I made this a actually shredded the zucchini so it was evenly distributed.
hi… do you squeeze the water out of your zucchini before adding, or just throw it in?
Fantastic!!! As always.
I am totally DROOLING over here!!!
OMG! Just discovered your website this past week. I’m an RD in minnesota (not the typical low fat kind…). I’m going to recommend your site to so many of my clients. I love the fact that they can create grocery lists from the recipes, what an amazing feature.
