Mashed beans economically provide extra
protein and fiber in this simple, but hearty meatloaf.
No-Work Meatloaf
2/3 cup cooked and mashed Navy, Great Northern,
or Yellow-Eye Beans (or a 15 1/2-ounce can, drained, rinsed and
mashed)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup tomato catsup
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs or bread crumbs
- Mix all the ingredients together well.
Put the mixture in a bread pan, or shape into a loaf and place
in a shallow baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for
45 minutes.
- Serve with cooked rice. And remember,
leftover meatloaf makes wonderful sandwiches cold or hot.
