Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 (19 ounce) can ready-to-serve New England clam chowder
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • 1 pinch dried parsley, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small roasting pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine ground beef, 1/2 can chowder, onion, eggs, celery, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until smooth. Mound meatloaf mixture in the prepared roasting pan. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven; pour remaining 1/2 can chowder over top and sides of meatloaf. Return uncovered pan to the hot oven; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.
