Market Meatloaf
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons low fat milk
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded low fat Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine meatloaf ingredients (ground beef through salt and pepper); mix thoroughly with very clean hands; gently press into a 9-inch square baking pan or dish.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear; carefully pour off drippings (aka grease-LOL) and blot excess with paper towels.
- Sprinkle cheese over the top of the meatloaf and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat source for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is lightly browned, then sprinkle with green onion.
- Allow loaf to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into 4 big servings.
