Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped apples and garlic powder to the skillet. Cook for another 5-8 minutes until the apples are tender and the mixture is fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg whites, wheat germ, curry powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir in the onion-apple mixture and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Shape the mixture into a loaf on a piece of parchment paper or directly on a rack set inside a shallow baking pan.
  7. Spoon the remaining 1/4 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the top of the loaf.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the loaf is firm to the touch.
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
