1/2 cup ketchup
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs
3 garlic cloves, minced
A handful of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Instructions
#No need for an introduction - meat loaf is another favorite. Occasionally it is worth to buy red meat - make sure it's lean enough to be on the healthy side. I have streamlined this recipe by using egg whites as a binder. Serve this dish with your favorite recipe of potatoes or Polenta or Roasted Vegetables and a green salad.#
Preheat oven to 350 °F / 180 °C.
Throw all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well with a fork. Spoon and spread mixture into a loaf pan coated with olive oil. If you wish, spread about a tablespoon of ketchup on meat -and cook in the oven for 1 hour.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve Avocado Mayonnaise on the side.
Try this: Add chopped and sauteed mushrooms to the meat loaf.
