Directions

Grate the carrot finely and chop the parsley sprigs if not already done.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, grated carrot, dried onion, oregano, and pepper.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a microwave-safe dish, shaping it into a loaf or rectangular form.

In a small cup, stir together the A1 sauce and tomato sauce, then pour evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small corner vented for steam to escape.
-
Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC) and the meat is no longer pink.
-
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
