Sassy Meatloaf

It's been a little while since I shared a recipe, so I thought I'd share one now.  This is my absolute favorite, "go-to" dinner recipe.  I've made it more times than I can count and it's super yummy!!

Sassy Meatloaf (Weight Watchers Simply The Best Cookbook)
Makes 6 Servings

1 Pound Lean Ground Beef (10% Fat or Less)
1 1/4 Cup Low Sodium Salsa (I use regular salsa)
3/4 Cup Quick-Cooking Oatmeal
1 Carrot Shredded
2 Plum Tomatoes, Diced
1/2 Cup Coarsely Chopped Mushrooms

Preheat the oven to 350.  Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and shape the mixture into a loaf.  Place the loaf in the pan. Bake about 1 hour and 5 minutes (until browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and hot).  Let stand about 10 minutes before slicing.

Each serving is 183 calories, 8 grams total fat.  For you Weight Watchers, it's 4 points (on the old points system).  Because of the salsa, carrots, and tomatoes, it also counts as 1 vegetable!

Now, I should add that I hate tomatoes.  Really hate tomatoes.  So, when I make this recipe, I leave them out.  The beauty of this recipe is that you can sneak in lots of different vegetables.  They cook up nicely in the meatloaf and you don't even know they're there.  In fact, tonight I'm going to chop up some broccoli extra fine and cook that in there!  Just don't tell my husband ;-)  Enjoy!
