Easy Lean Meatloaf
Quick & easy homestyle lower fat meatloaf that is gluten-free topped with a tangy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking or old fashioned oatmeal I used gluten-free
- 3/4 cup milk or non-dairy type substitute. (I used soy milk)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large mixing bowl add lean ground beef, oats, milk, egg, onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well. I find my hands work well in mixing these ingredients.
- Press mixture into a large loaf pan. Cover the top of the meatloaf with sliced mushrooms.
- In a small mixing bowl add ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Mix well. Pour over mushrooms.
- Bake for 70-80 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and carefully pour off much of the liquid from the pan. Let meatloaf rest a few minutes before serving. Remove meatloaf from pan and slice to the desired thickness for serving.
Notes
Leftovers are fabulous as the flavors seem to enhance overnight. Sandwiches and wraps are just around the corner. Try cutting leftover meatloaf in small chunks and add it to a pizza, it’s fantastic!
