Lean Beef and Mushroom Meatloaf

Lean Beef and Mushroom Meatloaf

Diana Rattray
Lean ground beef, shredded summer squash, and minced mushrooms help make this a moist and lighter-than-normal meatloaf. Serve this meatloaf with rice or potatoes, along with zucchini or broccoli for a light and tasty meal. Top this meatloaf with a little barbecue sauce or ketchup just before it's done for extra flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small summer squash, about 5 to 6 ounces, shredded
  • 1 small red or yellow onion, shredded or finely minced
  • 4 to 6 ounces mushrooms, minced
  • Dash garlic powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup or bbq sauce, optional

Preparation:

Combine the ground beef with squash, onion, mushrooms, garlic powder, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix lightly with hands until well combined. Pack into a lightly greased 9x5- or 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

About 15 minutes before the meatloaf is done, pour off excess fat. Top with barbecue sauce or ketchup, if desired. Return to the oven and continue baking for 15 minutes.

Serves 4 to 6.
