MEATLOAF WITH LENTILS AND VEGETABLES



Meatloaf With Lentils and Vegetables image

I found this recipe online while looking for a good veggie-filled meatloaf. I made a few changes, even though I haven't made it yet. It sounds like it would be good with ground turkey or chicken as well (with the corresponding stock). The web site I found it on recommended topping with a salad made from baby salad leaves, lentils, carrot, onion, and tomato and red pepper chutney. I plan on topping it with tomato sauce or BBQ sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green bell pepper, diced
½ cup diced sweet onion
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound extra-lean (95%) ground beef
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 large eggs
¾ cup shredded carrot
¾ cup shredded zucchini
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup ketchup, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green bell pepper and onion in the hot oil until onion is transparent and bell pepper is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, carrot, zucchini, salt, pepper, and bell pepper mixture in a large bowl; mix well using your hands. Press meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Spread ketchup on the top of the meatloaf and continue baking until bubbling, about 5 minutes more.
