1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 egg

1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large carrot, grated
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Combine beef, egg, onion, milk, bread crumbs, parsley, and carrot in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Place beef mixture in loaf pan.
Stir together brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup in a small bowl. Pour over meatloaf.
