Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened ketchup
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Low-fat milk
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Carrot, finely grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Additional unsweetened ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and milk.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, stirring until the seasonings are evenly mixed through the meat.
Fold in the finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and parsley. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Shape the mixture evenly into a loaf shape and press it gently into the prepared loaf pan.
Spread the additional 2 tablespoons of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a glossy and flavorful glaze.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5–10 minutes once removed from the oven. This helps the juices redistribute, making it moist and easier to slice.
Slice into 6 portions and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a side salad.
