LOW SALT MEATLOAF

This is a great low salt recipe. It has a hearty beef flavor with a twist. This is moist yet fairly dense meatloaf which is great the next day for sandwiches.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
2 eggs
2 pieces bread, toasted and finely cubed (a no salt added brand)
2 tablespoons minced onions
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cilantro
2 (4 g) packets sodium-free beef bouillon (herb ox)
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons hot sauce (salsa brava brand low sodium) (optional)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt substitute
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce (for topping)
1 teaspoon dry mustard (for topping)
1/2 teaspoon salt substitute (for topping)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 deg.
  • mix topping ingredients and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs and place in large bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Form into loaf shape of your choice and place into small lightly greased pan. I just used a 4x8 pan that was about 4 inches deep. Bread pan would work fine.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minute.
  • Remove foil and coat top with the topping mix and bake for another 15-20 minute.
  • All that's left now is to decide what to have with it. I like baked sweet potatos or garlic mashed potatos. If you like bell peppers these can be added for a great little south western taste. Using fresh onion instead of minced will make this a bit more moist but it is a preference thing. Enjoy!
