Makeover - How We Did It

We've made over this traditional entree and cut more than half the fat by using extra-lean ground beef and egg whites instead of whole eggs. As a result, this saves 6g of fat per serving.

How to Safely Prepare a Meatloaf

After shaping a meatl oaf with your hands, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water for at least 20 sec. A quick rinse under the faucet is not enough to kill any harmful bacteria.

I made this recipe last night with ground turkey. Because the reviews said it was a little bland, I changed a few of the ingredients: added salt, pepper and minced garlic to onions, used chili sauce instead of ketchup and tomato sauce instead of water. I didn't add the cheese because I used the chili sauce on top, also. I made it in six mini loaves and baked them 45 minutes. My husband raved!! It was very moist and flavorful! I will definitely make this again, although not too soon since I have four mini loaves in the freezer!!

Too dry and not enough flavoite, Would add a lot more seasoning, garlic, s@p an copped tomotes, maybe some chopped green pepper. Just needs to be twicked.
