1 lb. ground beef. (90% lean or ground beef drained and rinsed)
1/4 Cup NoMato Sauce or 1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon Ketchup (if not tolerated just leave out)
1 Cup hot sauteed diced onions
3/4 Cup dry quick oat meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg or 2 egg whites
Saute' onions in non stick skillet sprayed with non-stick olive oil spray. When finished sauteing set aside to cool down.
Weigh your meet to equal 1 pound. The rest of the package of meat I cook and package for later use or I make more meat loaves with different recipes.
Transfer your hamburger to a large bowl. Add the sauteed onions. Then combine the rest of the ingredients and stir till completely mixed.
When completely mixed. Slightly press down the meat loaf till it looks like the above picture. Make a cut of the mixture in the middle.
Because there are only two of us, I use mini loaf pans. Line them with plastic wrap or what ever you prefer to freeze the mini meat loaves in.
Press the meat mixture down into the loaf pans or pan and slightly press to form meat loaf.
Finish wrapping the meat loaf. Place in freezer. After the meat loaves are frozen I remove themfrom the mini loaf pans. They are then wrapped in foil and labeled. They are then placed back in my freezer.
When I am ready I thaw the meat loaf and place it on a baking sheet like picture above. This meat loaf can also be put in a crock pot frozen and cooked for 4 hours on slow. If using a larger meat loaf place in crock pot frozen and cook 6-8 hours. This can depend on where you live. Since I live over 6,000 feet altitude, it can take a little longer for me.
Enjoy!
