High Protein/Low Carb Meatloaf

High Protein/Low Carb Meatloaf

Ingredients

1lb. 90% or higher ground beef
1 egg
1/2 med. onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 TBL dried parsley
1 tsp dried parsley (this is not a typo, just a separate measurement of the parsley that will be used)
1 tsp of either dried oregano or Italian seasoning
1/2 cup (split) Heinz Reduced Sugar ketchup
1/2 cup (split) grated parmesan cheese
1 TBL Worchester sauce
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup to 1 cup of ground rolled oats (grind the oats in a food processor or blender until they are very small pellets)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, onion, celery, salt, pepper, oregano, 1 tsp of parsley, 1/4 cup of ketchup, (1 TBL) parmesan cheese, Worchester sauce, poultry seasoning, and a 1/2 cup of the oats.

With your hands, knead the mixture together until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. To see if more oats are needed, hold a large clump of the mixture in your hand over the bowl, tilt your hand to see if the mixture stays clumped together. If it doesn't then add a little more oats, test again. Keep adding oats to the entire mixture and thoroughly combine, keep testing until the test clump no longer falls apart.

I like to make 2 meatloaves from this mixture...freezing leftovers if any. In a glass baking dish (9x11 or something like that) split the mixture and shape them into 2 loaves. Spread the remaining ketchup over the entire top and sides of the loaves (or loaf if making 1 large), sprinkle the remaining parsley flakes and parmesan cheese over the top of the loaves.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 70 minutes.

Do you have the nutritional info for this recipe?  It sounds WONDERFUL!!

I just posted it on the recipe.

I make a similar recipe, but I used ground turkey and mushrooms instead of oats.  It's slightly more crumbly, but the mushrooms make it taste just as meaty!
