Ground meat treats: Beef and bison meatza

At the time of this writing, there was no Wikipedia article for the term “meatza”, which surprised me a bit given the number of recipes on the web. In fact, I could not find anything concrete about the dish’s tradition or  history. Another thing that surprised me about this dish is how much my family and I like it. It has become a regular weekend treat for us for quite some time now. The recipe below is for a meal that feeds 4-8 people. Like in my previous recipe for a zucchini and onion meatloaf ( ), the ground beef used here has little fat, and thus a relatively low omega-6 content. Most of the fat comes from the ground bison, which has a higher omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. - Prepare some dry seasoning powder by mixing sea salt, parsley flakes, garlic powder, chili powder, and a small amount of cayenne pepper. - Mix 2 lb of very lean ground beef (96/4) with 1 lb of ground bison. - Add the dry seasoning and a whole egg to the ground meat mix. - Vigorously mix by hand until ...

Cut half an onion into small pieces of similar size. - Mix 2 lb of very lean ground beef (96/4) with 1 lb of ground grass-fed lamb. - Add the dry seasoning, zucchini, potato, onion and a whole egg to the ground meat mix. - Vigorously mix by hand until you get a...
