This simple meatloaf gets added fiber and vitamins with the addition of diced and shredded vegetables. It's simple to make, freezes well and the addition of barbeque sauce makes it a real crowd-pleaser.
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 red pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 c. shredded carrot
- 1 c. toasted bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 c. barbeque sauce, divided
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, pepper, onion, carrot, bread crumbs, egg, seasonings and 1/4 c. barbeque sauce using your hands. Once the mixture has been well mixed, form it into a loaf shape and carefully set it into a loaf pan. Spread the remaining barbeque sauce over the meatloaf and bake it for 40-50 minutes or until the meat is cooked and the barbeque sauce is bubbly.
