âThis is one of my personal favorites. I'm often asked for the recipe.â A dinnertime classic gets lightened up and easier to make, but keeps its tried-and-true flavor. Â Laura Burgess - Mt. Vernon, South Dakota Ingredients:
1/2 cup tomato sauce |
1/2 cup egg substitute |
1/4 cup ketchup |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 small onion, chopped |
1/3 cup crushed saltines (about 10 crackers) |
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt |
1/8 teaspoon seasoned pepper |
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean) |
1/2 pound reduced-fat bulk pork sausage |
sauce: |
1/2 cup ketchup |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
3/4 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Cut three 25-in. x 3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well (mixture will be moist). Shape into a loaf. Place meat loaf in the center of the strips.
3. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Spoon over meat loaf. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°. Using foil strips as handles, remove the meat loaf to a platter. Yield: 8 servings.
