Healthy Pickle Meatloaf

If you’ve been following me for a while then you know I love pickles. For me, pickles and mustard are one of the ultimate combos. I’m a huge fan of Pickle Chicken and it’s one of my favorite things to make. So I decided to put a healthier spin on my regular meatloaf and thus, Healthy Pickle Meatloaf happened! It’s been a hit with my family and friends and makes a great potluck or easy dinner item. Preparation is a cinch and clean up is even easier.

Many recipes call for ketchup and brown sugar but for this particular recipe I used sweet gherkins and mustard instead. The sweetness from the gherkins replaces the sweetness that the brown sugar adds. This recipe is fairly simple and easy to make so let’s get cooking!

First thing’s first, let’s round up all of our ingredients. One of the best things about Healthy Pickle Meatloaf, or any meatloaf for that matter, is how easy it is. Meatloaf is the smaller version of sheet pan dinners. You put everything in a bowl, mix it all together, and put it in the baking dish. So, let’s add all of our ingredients together until everything is evenly mixed up and distributed.

Once you’ve got everything mixed together, transfer you mixture into your loaf pan. Don’t forget to line the bottom of the dish with parchment paper to make it easier to take the meatloaf out of the pan. This will work for so many baked meals or desserts.

Bake the meatloaf at 375° for 45 minutes or until cooked through. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before serving so that it doesn’t fall apart.

Serve this recipe with your favorite sides and enjoy. We typically have mashed potatoes (or cauliflower mash), salad, and some veggies.
