Meat Loaf

My husband says he was brought up to "just want a meatloaf every once in a while." This recipe's a pretty good one, though I'll admit, I double their recommended tomato sauce, and use about 2/3 as much hot sauce as they call for.
  • 8 oz uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
  • 12 oz lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion(s), chopped
  • 1/2 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
  • 8 oz canned tomato sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
  • 2 large egg white(s), beaten slightly
  • 1/4 tsp table salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray. Combine beef, turkey, onion and oats in a large bowl. Mix together tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, egg whites, salt and pepper. Add to meat mixture and mix well with hands. Press into pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. (Note: Add an extra egg white if meatloaf does not hold together properly.)

Yield: 6 servings, 3 points each (or 3 servings, 6 points each!)
