Ingredients
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 egg
1 onion, chopped
1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large carrot, grated
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
⅓ cup ketchup
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Combine beef, egg, onion, milk, bread crumbs, parsley, and carrot in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Place beef mixture in the loaf pan.
Stir together brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup in a small bowl. Pour over meatloaf.
Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
