Rather than using a deluge of ketchup to keep this meat loaf from drying out in the oven, we make an antioxidant-packed chunky tomato chutney to keep this as tender and moist as any you've ever tasted. Don't think you'll finish the whole loaf for dinner? Use the leftovers to make a meat loaf sandwich for lunch.

How to Make it


step 1

For the chutney, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic until translucent, then add the tomatoes and peppers and cook for a few minutes more, until the tomatoes are soft and saucy. Add the ketchup, Worcestershire, and pepper flakes and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

step 2

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

step 3

For the meatloaf, heat the oil in a medium skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until cooked through but not brown. Transfer to a bowl and gently mix in 1 cup of the chutney plus the remaining ingredients. (Don't overmix, unless you like tough meat loaf.)

step 4

Dump the meat loaf out into a baking dish and loosely form into a log. Cover with half of the remaining chutney.

step 5

Bake the meat loaf for 60 to 90 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F. Serve the meat loaf with the remaining tomato chutney.
