My Take on Mom s Meat Loaf

Description

Here's a lower-in-fat-and-salt take on my mother's original recipe. I substituted fresh ingredients like garlic, mushrooms and onions for dried onion soup mix and garlic powder, etc. It's still dense, hearty and tastes like home.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 5 medium fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • barbecue sauce, optional

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf; place in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with barbecue sauce if desired.
