Beef and Lentil Meatloaf

Adding lentils instead of breadcrumbs to meatloaf holds it together and makes one pound of meat stretch a little further. Lentils add fiber, potassium, and iron, too!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  3. In a large bowl, add 1 cup cooked lentils and mash with fork.
  4. Add 1 egg and continue mashing until nearly pureed. Add second egg, ketchup, and mustard and mix well.
  5. Stir in remaining cup of lentils. Set aside.
  6. Add ground meat in a separate bowl and mix in garlic powder, pepper, salt, and green onions.
  7. Add all ingredients into lentil mixture. Mix well.
  8. Put meatloaf mix into a loaf pan and pat down mixture into pan until it is even on top. (No loaf pan? See notes below.)
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes, and serve. If you like, top with ketchup.

Recipe Tips

If you do not have a loaf pan, line a sheet pan/cookie sheet with tin foil. Place the meatloaf mixture onto the pan, and mold it into a loaf shape with your hands.
