Place meat into a large bowl.

Grate up your carrot and onion, and add them into the bowl.

I simply did this with my box grater.

When grating your onion, do it over your bowl so that any liquid drips onto the meat.

Finally, top each loaf with 2-3 teaspoons ketchup and smooth into a nice even layer.

Bake, uncovered for about 25 minutes or until the center of your loaves reach 145 degrees F internally.
-
19
Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack.
-

Let the loaves sit 5 minutes on pan before serving.

This will produce a loaf that is very slightly pink in the center.

If you want them cooked well done, keep loaves in oven until they reach 150 degrees F internally in the center, then remove and allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.
