Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
  • ¾ cup Panko or breadcrumbs GF if necessary
  • ½ cup Ketchup low sugar
  • ½ cup Onion diced
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Garlic minced
  • Salt + Pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Dried Parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a large sheet pan with foil and parchment paper or a loaf pan.
  • Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, 1/2 the ketchup, onion, egg, Worcestershire, garlic, thyme, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together with your fingers then place on the sheet pan or in a loaf pan. Shape the beef into the shape of a loaf.
  • Bake for 45 minutes then remove from the oven and brush the top with the remaining ketchup and dried parsley.
  • Bake another 10 minutes or until the center of the loaf reads 160 F with a thermometer. Remove from the oven, cool at room temperature for 10 minutes then slice and serve with veggies!

Notes

    • Use Lean Beef: This is the key to a lower fat meatloaf with great flavor!
    • Make Sure to Line Your Pan: Adding foil or parchment paper to the pan will make cleanup so much easier.
    • Let It Rest: Allowing the meatloaf about ten minutes to sit before slicing allows it to soak up all the juices into the meat for a juicier meatloaf.
