Barbecue Meat Loaf from Cooking Light

Hi, this is actually Megan posting! I wanted to share a yummy, easy recipe that I've been making for a few years from Cooking Light. Even some of my kids like it-and it's pretty satisfying served with a baked potato or brown rice and steamed veggies or sauteed spinach (my fave).

Barbecue Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, extra lean (raw)
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup BBQ sauce, divided
1 TBSP prepared mustard
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg whites
cooking spray

1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, onion, 1 tbsp. BBQ sauce and remaining ingredients (except cooking spray) in a large bowl.
3. Shape meat mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. (*NOTE: I usually do this in just a regular loaf pan & it's fine. It would probably alter the serving sizes though and thus the nutritional info though). Spread remaining BBQ sauce over top of meatloaf. Bake at 350 for one hour or until a meat thermometer registers 160. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into 12 slices.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 slices).
