Here’s a traditional meatloaf just like your mama or grandmama used to make. The processed onion keeps the loaf incredibly moist, but little children who are picky about onions won’t even know it is in there. This recipe is found in the “Oven-Baked or Roasted Meats” section of our Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 157. This is a family-size recipe that will serve 6 to 8 people.

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Make the loaf. Put the onion half in a food processor with 1 heaping cup of the ground meat. Process until the onion is completely broken down and absorbed by the meat (you may have to stop processing and scrape down sides with a spatula, then start again a couple times).
-
Put the meat-onion mix in a large bowl and combine with the remaining meat, the eggs, the seasonings, mustard, ketchup, and Baking Blend. Put in a 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes.
-
Make the topping. Mix the ketchup, mustard, and Gentle Sweet, and spread on top of the loaf. Bake for 10 minutes more. Broil for the last few minutes for a browned and bubbly topping.
