Showing You How To Give Up Sodium Without Giving Up Your Life
Meat Loaf
I got this recipe from a friend in Arkansas before I went on the low sodium diet and it became an instant family favorite. The only changes I made were eliminating the salt in the meat mixture and using no salt added tomato sauce. It's a simple loaf with only a few ingredients, which my kids seemed to appreciate. The sauce is the real star here, a sweet and sour barbecuey marvel that is worlds away from plain tomato sauce or, heaven forbid, tomato soup. It gives the whole house a wonderful aroma while it cooks. I always make at least a double recipe ... this is the kind of thing that makes you forget the 3 ounce portion thing pretty quickly, and it makes great sandwiches. You can also use ground turkey and make a lower fat version.
