Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the old-fashioned oatmeal, milk, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soften the oats.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and any chopped onions if available, sautéing until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened oatmeal mixture, the sautéed garlic/onion, ground chuck, grated carrots, ketchup, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
  5. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed, but do not overwork the meat.
  6. Lightly oil a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  7. Transfer the meat mixture into the loaf pan, pressing it down firmly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the remaining honey with additional ketchup or mustard for a glaze, and brush it over the top of the meatloaf.
  9. Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC).
  10. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
