Yield::1 (9×5-inch) meatloaf
Ingredients
cooking spray
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
½ cup ketchup
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
¾ cup low-fat (1%) milk
¾ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 large eggs
¼ cup chopped parsley
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Press brown sugar into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan; spread ketchup over sugar.
Mix together ground beef, onion, milk, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, salt, black pepper, and ginger in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Shape beef mixture into a loaf and place into the pan on top of ketchup.
Bake in the 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).
