Ingredients

Directions

  1. Grate the carrot finely and chop the parsley sprigs if not already done.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, grated carrot, dried onion, oregano, and pepper.
  3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a microwave-safe dish, shaping it into a loaf or rectangular form.
  5. In a small cup, stir together the A1 sauce and tomato sauce, then pour evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small corner vented for steam to escape.
  7. Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC) and the meat is no longer pink.
  8. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and serve warm.
