By Bailey1_

Ingredients

• Phase 2
• Serves 4
• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Total time: 40 to 45 minutes
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup finely chopped white button mushrooms
• 1/2 cup finely minced onion
• 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp. tamari or coconut aminos
• 1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

Step 1

Instead of oatmeal (or bread crumbs in a classic meatloaf recipe), this version uses mushrooms to absorb juices from the meat and add texture.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Lightly press the mixture into an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (the inside will no longer be pink). Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with lots of Phase 2 veggies like steamed broccoli or greens.
