2 lbs lean hamburger (get the leanest hamburger you can)

6 eggs
¼ c wheat germ
2-3 cups cooked brown rice
1 c shredded carrots
1 c corn kernels
2-3 t low sodium beef or chicken broth

Keep any unused muttloaf in the refrigerator. This also freezes well. Cut the loaf into individual slices and freeze them on a sheet pan so that they are not touching. When they are frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer storage bag.
Notes: Do not use onions in this mix. Also, you may choose to omit the broth if you would like. Keep the seasonings to a minimum or not at all. That means salt, pepper, herbs and spices. Top with cheese and serve.
