Salsa Meat Loaf

By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

Nothing says comfort food more than a piping hot slice of meat loaf served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Of course, the fat in a slice of meat loaf alone amounts to about 17 grams, even when you use lean ground beef. To lighten it, this uses extra-lean ground beef, rolled oats and vegetables for increased fibre plus a salsa topping instead of the usual high-sugar ketchup or chili sauce. Cooking the loaf free form on a baking sheet drains away the fat, which results in only 206 calories and 7 grams of fat per serving.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

4 egg whites (or 1/2 cup/125 mL pasteurized egg_whites)
1 cup (250 mL) large-flake rolled oats

1 cup (250 mL) grated zucchini
3/4 cup (175 mL) grated carrot
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried thyme and pepper
1-1/2 lb (750 g) extra-lean ground beef
