  • ¼ cup (59ml) milk
  • ¼ cup (22.5g) parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ cup (30g) fresh parsley chopped

  • 1 large egg

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Brush some of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.

Notes

  • Your hands are the best tool for mixing the ingredients.
  • Avoid overmixing, which can cause the meatloaf to be tough. 
  • If you don't have a loaf pan, you can shape the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined
  • with parchment paper.
  • Check the temperature with a digital thermometer to ensure the meatloaf has cooked to a minimum of 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C. 
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute. 
  • Use the leftover meatloaf for sandwiches or add it to pasta, tacos, or as a breakfast meat with eggs and hashbrowns.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
  • There are 4 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
