  • 4 slices low calorie bread toasted & made into breadcrumbs *
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium onion grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 beef stock cubes / bouillon cubes crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅓ cup skimmed milk (70ml)
  • 6 tablespoons Heinz tomato ketchup - 50% less sugar or no sugar added divided

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / 350°F.
  • Use 5 pumps of calorie controlled spray oil to grease a loaf tin (approx 9 inches by 5 inches)
  • Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, minced garlic, black pepper, crumbled stock cubes/bouillon, milk and 2 tablespoons of the tomato ketchup into a large bowl.
  • Mix with a wooden spoon (or your hands if you prefer) to combine all of the ingredients.
  • Stir in the chopped parsley if using.
  • The mixture will be wet but this leads to a moist, succulent meatloaf that is less inclined to crumble once cooked.
  • Place the meat loaf mixture into the pre greased loaf tin and smooth the top.
  • Mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of ketchup with the sugar, white wine vinegar and mustard to make a glaze.
  • Spread half of the glaze on top of the meatloaf and set aside the rest for later.
  • Place the meatloaf on the middle shelf of the preheated oven and cook for 50 minutes.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread over the remaining glaze.
  • Place back in the oven for a further 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let the loaf stand for 10 minutes or so before slicing it into 8 generous slices.
