Step 1

In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot and onion; cook and stir until tender. Cool slightly.

Shape into an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°.

In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients; mix well. Pat onto meat loaf; let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Remove to a platter.
