Recipe: Daddy's Meatloaf (Lean)

My Daddy's Meatloaf (Lean)
Serving: 18 mini loafs
Calories per serving: 174

(One of my ALL time favorite meals! Awesome with cauliflower mash and green beans! This entire meal is under 500 calories.)

 

Ingredients:

3lb Lean Ground Beef (93/7)
2 Cups Quick Oats
2 Yellow Onions diced
2 Green Peppers diced
2 Large Eggs
One can of Hunt's Dinner Starters - Meatloaf
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and Pepper




















Directions:

Sautee peppers and onions until soft. Combine ground beef and eggs and mix well by hand. Add onions and pepper and mix well by hand. Add quick oats and mix well by hand. Add Worcestershire sauce, 2/3 can of Hunt's dinner starter, and salt and pepper. Mix well by hand.

Divide evenly among muffin pan (18 total) forming them into balls just barely smaller than a baseball. Distribute remaining Hunt's sauce over mini loafs.




















Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

While oven heats, flash freeze mini loafs that are leftover. Leaving them in the muffin pan lightly cover with plastic wrap and place in deep freezer for several hours. Once they are frozen remove and divide them into family portions into freezer bags and place them back in freezer.

Bake mini loafs for 30 min. Cut into middle to check doneness. (I recommend placing a pan under the muffin pan to catch any grease that may drip out.)

To use frozen mini loafs place in fridge to thaw and cook according to above directions.
