Ingredients

    Meatloaf

    • 2 lb lean, free-range ground beef or lamb
    • 1 cup raw grated winter squash, summer squash or "forked" spaghetti squash
    • 1 bunch mint, coarsely chopped
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 3/4 teaspoons black pepper
    • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    Tomato Sauce

    • 4 cups fresh diced beefsteak or cherry tomatoes
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic or red wine vinegar
    • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 1/2 onion, chopped
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 medium-sized bunches of fresh basil, coarsely chopped

    Directions

  • Mix meatloaf together. Form into two loaves or many meatballs. Place in a roasting pan or cast-iron skillet, and drizzle olive oil over top. Broil on low broil setting until tops brown.
  • While meatloaf is broiling, quickly make the sauce by mixing the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  • Once meat has browned, pour off most of the pan juices. Add the tomato sauce and broil until it too browns or slightly chars.
