Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ounces applesauce
- 1 cup gluten-free cracker crumbs or gluten-free bread crumbs
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup gluten-free ketchup (I used Annie's Naturals Organic Ketchup)
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly blend the mixture. I like to use disposable gloves for this job! Add a small amount of milk or water if necessary to make the mixture moist.
Use a large spatula to turn the meat mixture into a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Press down and smooth the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes and carefully remove pan and pour off excess fat. Spread ketchup over the top of loaf, return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Again, carefully pour off excess fat and serve warm.
Serves- 6-8
