Garden Meatloaf

• 1 1/2 lbs 95% lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
• 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
• 1/2 cup grated carrot
• 1/2 cup vegetable juice cocktail (like V8)
• 6 tablespoons liquid egg substitute
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed garlic
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley, finely crumbled (or use 2 tbsp. minced fresh)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or marjoram)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup ketchup

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place all ingredients (except ketchup) in a large bowl and mix well. Coat a 9 X 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and press the mixture into the pan to form a loaf.
3. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, then spread the ketchup over the top and bake for 30 more minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees in the center.
4. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
