This low-sodium savory meatloaf is a nice alternative to the typical tomato-sauce and ketchup-based meatloaf.
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1½ lb. very lean Ground Beef
- 1 cup uncooked instant Oatmeal

- ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp powdered mustard
- ¼ tsp Mrs Dash Steak Grilling Blend
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Saute the onion in a small skillet with 1 Tbsp Olive Oil for about 3 minutes (until the onion is soft). Remove onion from heat.
- In a bowl, mix together tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, Mrs Dash Steak Grilling Blend, and brown sugar to make the sauce for the meatloaf
- In a large bowl, mix together oatmeal, onion, egg, and pepper and ⅓ cup sauce. Add the ground beef, mixing with your hands to evenly distribute. Do not over-mix.
- Form the meat mixture into 1 or 2 loaves and place in a loaf pan or casserole dish lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
