Ingredients
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced (1 cup)
8 ounces white button mushrooms, finely diced
1 small carrot, finely grated
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove of garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds extra-lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
2 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 8-ounce can no-salt added tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon unsulphered molasses
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the liquid is evaporated and the mushrooms begin to brown about 8 minutes. Stir in the carrots, tomato paste, thyme and garlic and cook, stirring, 2 minutes more. Allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl combine the beef, oats, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, mushroom mixture, salt and pepper. Mix until just well combined. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide and 2 inches high.
- In a small bowl whisk the tomato sauce, molasses and mustard and pour over the meatloaf.
- Cook the meatloaf until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees, about 55-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serving Size: one 1-inch thick slice
