Low Sodium Meatloaf

Description: My mom was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure, so I have been trying to come up with recipes that she can have (she is on a restricted sodium diet) that are still flavorful.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup carrot, finely chopped
• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 8 ounces no-salt-added tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Steps:

1. Saute onion, celery and carrot in olive oil until tender; cool slightly.
2. In large bowl mix all meatloaf ingredients together with hands. Shape into loaf and place in baking pan.
3. Combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; spread over meatloaf.
4. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 1 hour.
