How to Make Applesauce Meat Loaf For 4

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup rolled oats (or breadcrumbs), 1 large egg, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon chili powder.
  3. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
  5. Let the meat loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.
