Meatloaf-Weight Watchers Style

Last night, I did my first recipe for the 2013 Cooking Challenge. I had ask the family what they wanted and they answer that I got was…Something hearty!

Yesterday was a pretty cold and snowy day so when I was looking through the reciepes the meatloaf really stood out.

Now I know meatloaf gets a bad wrap but you should seriously try this recipe. It came out extremely moist and flavorful. The only changes that I made to this particular recipe was that instead of making mini-personalized loafs, I just made one big loaf on a cooking sheet and increased the time to make sure it was cooked all of the way through.

Individual Garlic Meatloaves

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup ketchup, divided
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
• 1/3 cup quick-cooking oats

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil; coat rack with cooking spray. Place egg in a large owl, stirring well with a whisk. Add 1/2 cup ketchup and next 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk until blended.
• Add beef and oats. Using hands, gently mix just until blended. Shape meat mixture evenly into 6 small loaves; place loaves on the rack of prepared pan. Spread remaining 1/4 cup ketchup over loaves.
• Bake at 350° for 39 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 160°

My cookbook says that this recipe has a 6 point value. Although I think those are “old points” so I really don’t know how that translates now.

Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed the first recipe of the series! Stayed tuned for WW berry cobbler!

And as always, I love comments, and I love you for reading!
