1 lb ground beef
1 egg
4 slices bread
1/4 cup onion, minced
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
TOPPING
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup bell pepper, minced (optional)

Preparation

Mix ground beef, egg, bread, onion, pepper, and applesauce together.
Make 15 balls; place balls in a casserole dish.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahreneheit for 15 minutes; drain fat.
Mix ketchup, water.
Add ketchup/water mixture over the bell pepper; this step wasn't in original recipe but I like it this way.
Bake 30 minutes more.
Add pepper to cooked macaroni as soon as drained. I can't have butter but you can add some if you wish.
