Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tbsp butter

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Rinse the wild rice under cold water. Combine it with the chicken broth, celery, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • While the rice cooks, preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard. Spread this sauce evenly over the meatloaf and return it to the oven for 15 more minutes.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Fluff the wild rice pilaf with a fork and serve it alongside the meatloaf slices.

Grate the zucchini and carrots finely so they blend into the meat without creating wet spots. If the pilaf finishes early, keep it covered off the heat to stay warm. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave with a splash of broth to loosen the rice.
