Low Salt Meatloaf

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 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)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 deg.
• 2 mix topping ingredients and set aside.
• 3 beat the eggs and place in large bowl.
• 4 add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• 5 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.
• 6 cover with foil and bake for 45 minute.
• 7 remove foil and coat top with the topping mix and bake for another 15-20 minute.
• 8 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!
