Lamb Loaf

This recipe came to me after I saw a quite concerning show of ingredients that went into a meatloaf on another blog. My husband absolutely loves lamb, and I thought to myself, "I bet this would make a delicious meat loaf." Turns out, after a few small tweaks, it was perfect! My husband ate half of the loaf in one sitting, and it wasn't small! This recipe would work just as well with ground beef.

Prep Time- 15 minutes
Cook Time- 30-45 minutes



Ingredients:
Loaf
3/4- cup Bisquick or other biscuit mix
1/2- cup milk (I used skim)
2- large eggs, beat
1/4- cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1- clove garlic, minced
1-2 small shallots, diced
1- pound ground lamb (or beef)
Parsley
Chili Powder
Seasoned Salt
Black Pepper

Sauce
1 1/2- cups ketchup (I use Heinz no high-fructose added)
1/3- cup brown sugar
Louisiana hot sauce or Tobasco sauce
Chili Powder
Paprika

1) Preheat oven to 350, and lightly grease your loaf pan.
2) In a large bowl combine the biscuit mix and milk, mix thoroughly.
3) In a skillet lightly brown the diced shallots and minced garlic, add to the biscuit mix.
4) Add the lamb, eggs, cheese, and season to your liking. Then with clean and dried hands, mix all of the ingredients together. Make sure everything is combined thoroughly.
5) Place the mixture into the lightly greased pan. 
6) In a separate bowl, combine the ketchup and brown sugar. Use the hot sauce and seasonings to get your own desired flavor of spicy yet sweet sauce.
7) Top the lamb loaf with 1/3 of your sauce, and place into the over for 20-25 minutes.
8) Remove loaf and add another 1/3 of the sauce to the top, return loaf to the oven for another 15-20 minutes. *A meat loaf should never be pink, do not consume products with uncooked eggs and undercooked meats please*
9) Serve the loaf with the remainder of the sauce on the side or drizzled over the top, enjoy!
