🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

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

Prep all seasonings by rough chopping chili peppers, carrots, white onion, spring onions, thyme, and garlic in a food processor.

Blend the vegetables until they are visible but not pureed.

Squeeze lemon juice over lean beef mince and rinse it.

Break apart the beef mince and mix in the chopped seasonings.

Season lightly with sea salt and garlic powder.

Make breadcrumbs by blitzing bread in a food processor for about 10 seconds until coarse.

Add all-purpose seasoning, chili powder, 1 egg, and a splash of milk to the beef mixture.

Massage the mixture until fully combined.

Shape the mixture into a meatloaf.

Transfer the meatloaf to a wire rack to bake, allowing fat to drip down.

Bake the meatloaf in the oven at 200°C (375°F) for about 45 minutes.

Prepare the sauce by mixing ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard, honey, and black pepper, and let it simmer on low for 5 minutes.

After 45 minutes, brush the sauce over the top of the meatloaf and return it to the oven.

Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and slice it into 1 to 2 inch pieces.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
