I make the most boring meatloaf in the world... I am not a fan of finding random foods inside of my meatloaves, so I keep it simple. If you have never made meatloaf before, be prepared for it to be sitting in oil when you reach the end of your cooking time. I usually take out the loaf, and carefully spill the oil into the sink about 15 minutes before I am finished coking, then I put it back in.
My husband and I saw an infomercial for the Easy Meatloaf Pan. We just HAD to get it. I cannot say enough about this gadget. It cooks the meatloaf evenly, and thoroughly, and keeps the oil from pooling around the meatloaf-- if you are looking for a new gadget, and you make a lot of meatloaves... get this.
Meatloaf (6points)
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (I try to use 90-95% lean) *you can combine the meats if you want to use a little of each
2 egg whites per pound (I use the white rather than the whole egg)
1 small can of tomato sauce per pound
¾ cup (est) breadcrumbs per pound of meat (I use the GF recipe found here)
1/2 cup (est) corn meal (this helps the recipe stick together)
Salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder to taste (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375. Combine lean ground beef, beaten egg, tomato sauce, bread crumbs, and seasonings. Mix well. Cook in a Pyrex or metal loaf pan, covered with tin foil for about 1 hour per pound of meat. Uncover, raise heat to 400 degrees and cook an additional 10-15 minutes or until top begins to brown.
Makes 5 servings
I usually serve with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
This recipe also works for meatballs or hamburgers or with ground turkey.

Update- I am now allergic to corn so I no longer use this recipe. I now use the exact recipe that I use for gluten free meatballs
