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.
