I often fix this meat loaf since it's such a time-saver. It's also great in summer because I don't need to heat up the oven.Becky Cain, Hutchinson, Kansas Ingredients:
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon prepared mustard |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/4 cup cracker crumbs (about 6 crackers) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar and mustard; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the egg, onion, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper and 3/4 cup of the sauce mixture. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
2. Shape into a uniform round loaf in a greased microwave-safe 9-in. pie plate. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave on high for 15-17 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°, turning dish a quarter turn every 5 minutes. Drain; top with remaining sauce mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Yield: 6 servings.
