Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats add fiber, while crushed crackers can be more economical.

ketchup

🥗Healthier: tomato puree

💰Cheaper: homemade sauce

Tomato puree has no added sugars, and homemade sauce can be made at a lower cost.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal is a vegan option, while applesauce adds moisture and sweetness.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, and chopped onion.

Add egg, milk, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the mixture.

Season with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.

Spread ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Sprinkle with thyme and additional parsley if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, until cooked through.

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
