A recipe from Rachael Ray. A note from this recipe : Skip the sugar- and sodium-heavy ketchup and use a roasted red pepper puree for color and flavor. Use oats instead of breadcrumbs—they add fiber and double as a binder.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • rolled oats3⁄4 cup
  • onion, quartered1
  • extra virgin olive oil1 1⁄2 teaspoons
  • roasted red peppers, drained1
  • parmesan cheese, grated1⁄2 cup
  • parsley, finely chopped2 tablespoons
  • large egg1
  • egg white1
  • salt and pepper
  • lean ground beef (93%)1 1⁄2 lbs

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°. Using a food processor, coarsely grind the oats; transfer to a large bowl. Add the onion to the processor and finely chop.

  2. 2

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Puree the roasted peppers in the food processor; set aside 1/3 cup. Whisk the remaining roasted pepper puree into the oats along with the cooked onion, 6 tablespoons parmesan, the parsley, egg and egg white, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Crumble the ground beef into the bowl and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Transfer the meat mixture to a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan; spread the reserved roasted pepper puree on top. Bake for 50 minutes, sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan and bake for 5 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
