Course Meatloaf, Weeknight Meals, Zucchini
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef, lean
  • 1 small zucchini, shredded, about 5-6 ounces
  • 1 small onion, shredded or finely minced
  • 6 ounces mushrooms, chopped
  • Dash garlic powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Combine the ground beef with shredded zucchini, onion, mushrooms, garlic powder, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix lightly with hands until thoroughly blended.
  • Pack the meat mixture into a lightly greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • About 15 minutes before the meatloaf is done, carefully pour off excess fat. I place a plate or lid over the pan and drain it into a jar or cup to be discarded in the trash later.
  • Top with ketchup and return to the oven and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes.
