Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Meat loafs are an easy meal to prep ahead of time and pop in the oven when you are ready to eat. This meatloaf tasted just like a cheeseburger and is one I will definitely make again. This was adapted from a recipe on Beachbody, so it is as healthy as a meatloaf can be.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef

1/4 cup plain bread crumbs

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1 large egg

2 tablespoons dill pickle relish

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2-4 tablespoons ketchup

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Cook onion and carrots in a nonstick pan over medium heat for 10 minutes to soften.
2. Spray a bread pan with nonstick spray.
3. Add ground beef, carrots and onions, and bread crumbs to a large bowl. Gently break up the meat and mix together.
4. Mix the Worcestershire sauce, dill pickle relish, mustard, egg, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
5. Add the wet ingredients and mix just to incorporate.
6. Press the mixture into the bread pan.
7. Spread the ketchup over the meat mixture.
8. Top with shredded cheese.
9. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
10. Bake for 45 minutes if cooking now or until the meat loaf reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees or higher. If prepping ahead of time and refrigerating bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
