Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in pan and saute onion for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Put onion and garlic in large mixing bowl and add ground beef, salt and pepper, eggs, vegetable juice, parsley and hot sauce. Mix well and mold mixture into a greased loaf pan (about 12 x 8 inches). Top with ketchup and bake for one hour.
Use the leanest ground beef you can find. Use low sodium vegetable juice and your favorite egg substitute. You can control how spicy this dish is through your choice of hot sauce. Tabasco or some other relatively mild hot sauce will provide a subtle warmth. If you are feeling a little spicier, use one of the extra hot sauces made with habanero peppers. For a little extra spice, mix the ketchup with a few dashes of hot sauce before spreading the ketchup on top of the meatloaf.
