Ingredients

  2 large egg whites
  1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
  1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce, divided
  1 (2-ounce) slice gluten-free bread, torn into 4 pieces
  Cooking spray
  1 tablespoon sugar
  2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce {Check for Gluten}

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Combine egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add beef, bell pepper, onion, and 1/2 cup tomato sauce to egg mixture. Place bread pieces in a food processor; process until fine crumbs form. Add crumbs to beef mixture, mixing with hands just until combined. Shape beef mixture into an 8 x 5–inch loaf. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  3. Combine remaining tomato sauce, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl, stirring with a spoon. Reserve 2 tablespoons tomato sauce mixture. Spoon remaining sauce mixture over top of loaf.
