A flavorful twist on the classic meatloaf, incorporating vibrant salsa and wholesome ingredients for a delightful meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salsa, oatmeal, grated carrot, chopped tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the loaf dense.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 65 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the slices cleaner and juicier.
