Meatloaf
Okay, my poor meat eating son has been tortured for over three months. He turns 16 this month, but he'll be out of state on his birthday, so I took pity on him and bought ingredients for one of his favorite dishes: Meatloaf.My soon to be 16 year old, Kainan AKA Squatchmo |
He was SO shocked and got right to work making some.
Ingredients:
5.5 pounds Extra Lean Ground Beef
1 large onion, finely diced
2 Cups of crushed whole wheat crackers or bread crumbs
8 Egg Whites
2 Cups of Clean Marinara
Sauce:
1 1/2 cup Clean marinara or ketchup
1/2 cup Xylitol brown sugar substitute OR 1/4 cup Agave Nectar
Mix all ingredients except the sauce. Form into loaves or burgers (I often do burger sized because then they cook a lot faster:) and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes for burgers, 30 minutes for larger loaves. Uncover, top with sauce and bake an additional 8-15 minutes until the sauce looks almost caramelized.
I usually bake my loaves on a broiler pan so that any grease can drip off.
Serve with a big green salad to offset the meat:) Enjoy!
