Meatloaf in an Onion
Source of Recipe
Dian Thomas
List of Ingredients
1 pound very lean ground beef
2 egg whites
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
6 medium onionsRecipe
1. Cut 6 rectangles (12 by 14 inches each) of heavy aluminum foil and set
aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, egg whites, tomato sauce, pepper,
salt and dry mustard. Mix well and set aside.
3. Peel the onions and cut them in half horizontally. Remove centers,
leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Finely chop the center from one of the onions and
stir it into the meat mixture. Tightly wrap the five remaining onion centers
and refrigerate or freeze for future use.
4. Spoon the meat mixture into six of the onion halves, rounding it on top.
Place the remaining onion halves on top of the filled halves and press
together tightly. Place a filled onion on top of each piece of foil. Bring
the ends of the foil up over the onion and fold down tightly in small folds.
Flatten the ends and roll tightly around each onion. Cook the foil-wrapped
onion packages on coals for 14 to 20 minutes on each side. For the less
adventurous or those without a fireplace, you can also bake these stuffed
onions in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes.
