This meatloaaf has less than half the fat and a third of the calories that our classic comfort meatloaf has.
* the secret is using 93% lean beef, replacing 8 oz of beef with veggies , adding oats and only using egg whites

1lb ground beef ( 93-95% lean
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup shred carrots
1 cup shred zucchini
3/4 cup old fashion oats
2 egg whites ( beating lightly)
1 egg ( beating lightly)
4 tbsp ketchup
4 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp thyme ( u could use basil if u dont have thyme)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt ( thou i tend to leave it out)

Get your oven going at 350 degrees, spray cooking spray in your loaf pan. I like to line mine with tinfoil or parchment paper. Helps to get the meatloaf out when done and make for a pretty presentation on the table
~combine all your ingredients ( hold out 2 tbsp ketchup) mix it up well and press firmly in your pan Then drizzle the remainder of your ketchup on the top of your loaf. Place your loaf pan on a bake sheet and cook for an hr and 20 mins . Meat should not be pink and read 160 degrees.

    I just had meatloaf today and yours sounds so much better because of all the veggies! Just not sure the rest of the family will go for it. Will have to try it sometime anyways. Thanks.
