MOM'S MEAT LOAF

 Note: This is not my late mom's recipe. This is a recipe I saw in a TOH in 2015 and made it diabetic friendly.

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

3/4 cup lowfat milk

2/3 cup whole wheat saltines

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp rubbed sage

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 lbs 90% lean ground beef

1 cup ketchup 

1/2 cup Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sugar

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 350-degrees.

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add the ground beef and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into an 8x4-inch loaf. Place on a baking pan.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, stirring to dissolve the brown sugar. Remove 1/3 cup for sauce and spread the remaining mixture over the meatloaf.

Bake 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reads 160-degrees. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before slicing to serve. Serve with the reserved sauce.
