Yep, you read the title right. I found a great recipe for meatloaf and only changed one thing-the seasoning packet. I didn't have Onion Soup mix so I substituted McCormicks Meatloaf Seasoning Packet).It comes in perfect portion sizes, so that you don't mysteriously "forget" about eating that second piece of meatloaf (only 6 points/muffin).
Since I put the recipe in muffin tins, the cooking time only required about 30 minutes as opposed to a regular meatloaf of about two hours. I had so much left overs, I was able to freeze two whole batches for future meals. This was perfect for me since cooking is NOT my favorite thing to do.
I also tried a batch on my parents. And you have to know that both loved it, especially my dad. So this recipe works with everyone in the family including granddads : )
Here's where I found the recipe: Simple Nourished Living
Ingredients
- 2 pounds extra lean ground beef (7% fat or less)
- ¾ cup quick cooking oats
- 4 egg whites
- ¾ cup diced tomatoes with juice
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 1 ounce envelope of dry Lipton Onion Soup mix (McCormicks Meatloaf Seasoning Packet)
- ½ cup chopped green pepper, optional
- extra ketchup for brushing on top, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except the extra ketchup, and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into 8 even portions and form these into balls. Lightly press the balls into 8 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
- Brush the tops of the “muffins” with ketchup, if desired.
- Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops have browned and the meat loaves have cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
