The meatloaf that aspired to be more!



What a day this has been! Well... more of an evening rather.  I get home today to a power outage at my apartment,  but not the entire complex,  it seemed to be isolated to just the row I was in,  and the people on the other side of the lake it looked like as well. So while the power was out I prepped what I could for what had started out to be a meatloaf.  Due to various variables it is more of a Frittata now then a meatloaf... Regardless! it is yummy,  I had two pieces!

So as I run around trying to catch up with my evening I find that I have very little to do around this place that isn't related to electricity or light.  Not that I am complaining or anything,  I just felt like I was getting behind on everything by not being able to do anything that I had planned on doing.  Of course it is just silly since nothing that I needed to do was actually important to do, just part of the nightly routine.  Who knew I liked routine.  Maybe it is my old age catching up with me!

Anyways on to the meatloaf Frittata recipe!

Meatloaf Frittata  (8 servings)

3/4 lb of ground turkey meat
2 cups chopped baby spinach
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1 small white onion
1 chicken bullion cube crushed and sprinkled (or if you have powder have at it)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup
4 slices pepper jack cheese


In a bowl mix everything except the cream of mushroom and pepper jack cheese. You have to get your hands messy with this one to make sure a good mix without shredding everything.  Since it started out with less meat then planned, I decided to bake in a 9 inch round cake pan instead of in the loaf pan.  I poured the mixture into the pan (sprayed with olive oil for no sticking issues).  Half of the can of cream of mushroom I just smudged around the top of the mixture after in the pan.  After cooking at 350 for 1 hour, I put the cheese in and baked until melted.
