The ingredients for Applesauce Meatloaf are:

1 pound Lean Ground Beef (or Turkey if you choose)
1 cup Brown Rice
1 cup unsweetened Applesauce
1 large egg
6 tbsp of A1 Sauce (I like the bold and spicy, but any BBQ will do)
Garlic, Onion, and other spices seasoned to taste... I place all the meat, rice, and egg in 1 bowl, then the rest in another so I can season the applesauce to taste safely.

Here is how you make Applesauce Meatloaf:

Mix the sauce in 1 bowl, seasoned to taste, then pour over the ground beef, rice, and egg.Blend until all evenly mixed, then place in a baking pan (I find a loaf pan works best, but in a pinch I have used a 9 x 9 dish as well.Bake it in the oven uncovered:I broil it the first 15 minutes to sear the meat, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake another 30 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 160-165 on the meat thermometer.I also use a baster to drain off the fat out of the pan every 15 minutes or so.Let it cool about 5 minutes to firm up, and then enjoy.Serving Size: Makes 8 1-inch slicesNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TONY3779.
