Meatloaf for one

 

Meatloaf for one

Every so often I have a craving for a meatloaf, but I don’t want to make a large one that would feed a dozen people, just me. So I came up with this recipe to ensure that I don’t have but one serving so as to not waste food. Some recipes call for ketchup, but I prefer either tomato paste or a small can of tomato sauce in my recipe.

Ingredients

1⁄2 slice of bread, crumbled

2 tablespoons carrots, finely shredded

1 tablespoon celery, chopped

1 tablespoon onion, chopped

1 tablespoon bell pepper, chopped

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons Tomato Paste or 2 tablespoons chili sauce or tomato sauce, divided

1⁄4 lb ground beef

black pepper

Directions

In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Tomato Paste and all other ingredients.

Shape into a loaf, top with 2 tablespoons remaining Tomato Paste, and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
