INGREDIENT NOTES:
EXTRA LEAN GROUND BEEF:
- This component gives plenty of protein and low fat to the recipe. It gives the base to the meatloaf and stays juicy because of mushrooms. You may use lean chicken as per your preference.
LEAN TURKEY BACON:
- It gives a smoky and savory taste to the meal. We cook it first to remove extra moisture and improve the texture. You may use smoked paprika as an alternative.
WHOLE WHEAT BREADCRUMBS:
- They hold the meat mixture together and make the dish more filling. Breadcrumbs give extra fiber and keep the meat mixture soft. You may use quick oats as another choice.
EGG:
- It binds the components together to slice the meatloaf nicely after baking. You may use two egg whites if you a want a lighter choice.
UNSWEETENED KETCHUP:
- Ketchup gives moisture and a classic meatloaf taste. You may use tomato paste with a little amount of vinegar as a substitute.
WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:
- This sauce gives depth and improves the beef taste. You may use low-sodium soy sauce as another choice.

- First, coat the pan with cooking spray and heat the oven to 375°.
- Then cook the turkey bacon and cut it into small pieces.
- Cook mushrooms and onions for 5 minutes, then garlic for 30 seconds in the skillet.
