Makes 2 meatloaves. Cut recipe in half to make 1 loaf.
Ingredients
For the Meatloaf
1450 grams raw lean ground meat (or 3 lbs). I used ground moose. Any meat will work.
2 eggs
4 egg whites (I used ½ cup carton egg whites)
1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup onion, grated
1 cup soaked quick oats or soaked bread (soak oats in milk of choice for 10 or so minutes...I used almond milk. If using bread, give it a rough chop into cubes. Whole wheat or gluten-free bread is fine)
½ tsp of salt & pepper
For the Glaze
½ cup organic or lower sugar ketchup
1 Tbsp balsamic drizzle or glaze (its reduced balsamic vinegar, much thicker than regular balsamic)
¼ tsp pepper
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
First, soak your quick oats or bread. Submerge the oats or bread in milk of choice and let sit which you prep the meatloaf.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together all the meatloaf ingredients (aside from the oats/bread). Clean hands work best. Lastly, mix in the soaked oats or bread by sifting it out with your hands. Don't squeeze it much as you'll want to keep a bit of the milk to add moisture.
Spray a loaf pan or cookie sheet with cooking spray.
If using loaf pans, divide the mixture and place in the pans. If using a baking tray, form 2 loaves.
Mix together the glaze ingredients and smother over the loaves.
Bake at 375 degrees F for approx 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Notes
*Nutrition calculation is based on using ground moose and quick oats. * Each loaf is 6 servings, so cut into 6 thick slices each loaf.
