Method
- Saute onion and garlic in hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes. Add carrots, and saute 3 to 4 minutes or until onion is tender; cool slightly.
- Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup pasta sauce, beef, and next 7 ingredients in a large bowl until blended. Shape mixture into a 10- x 5-inch loaf. Place on a rack coated with cooking spray; place rack in broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
