Bella Vida 360° Meatloaf

"Our meatloaf is rich, savory, and comforting, featuring bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, herbs, and hearty beef flavors. That calls for a wine with enough depth to stand up to the dish, but enough acidity to keep each bite feeling balanced. Bella Vida's 2017 J. Christopher Pinot Noir has rich aromatics, bold ripe dark fruit flavors, and a lingering finish, making it an ideal match for the savory richness of this meatloaf."

Time: 45 minutes cook time + overnight marinating

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 green pepper (shredded)
  • 1 red pepper (shredded)
  • 1 white onion
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1-2 cups nutritional yeast
  • 1 package mushrooms
  • Olives (topping)
  • 1 tbsp Garlic salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Pepper 

Directions:

Shred peppers, dice onions, and mince garlic then place in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the olives) and thoroughly mix together.

Place on a sheet of Saran Wrap and wrap, making sure to close the ends, then place in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors meld together.

Once you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Then take the loaf from the fridge and place it in a big pan.

Sprinkle the top with nutritional yeast and olives to give the meatloaf extra texture and flavor.

Bake for about 45-50 minutes then let it rest for a good half hour and ENJOY!
