Paula Deen "Lean Cheeseburger Meatloaf"

GatorLvr13

2 lbs 95% lean ground beef
2 tsp lady's house seasoning ( Combine 1 cup salt, 1/4 cup black pepper, 1/4 cup garlic powder)
1 Med onion (Optional)
1 Med bell pepper chopped (Optional)
1 cup grated 2% reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup fat free sour cream
1 cup crushed reduced fat Ritz Crackers
1 tsp Lawry's season salt
8 slices white bread

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all ingredients together except bread. Shape into loaf and place in a 1" deep pan lined with bread slices. Bake for 45-60 minutes. The bread will absorb the grease and should be discarded after loaf is removed from the oven.

** Sauce: Heat 1 can condensed 98% fat free cream of mushroom and 1 soup can measure fat free milk over medium heat, Add 1 1/2 cups grated 2% reduced fat cheddar cheese and pour over finished meatloaf.

The recipe sounds great, but I'm loving the tip about the bread! I never make meatloaf because I can't stand the grease. Thanks!

Sounds good. For a different flavor, you might try a balsamic glaze instead of the cheese sauce. Mix 1/3 c. catsup with 2-3 T. balsamic vinegar and a few red pepper flakes. Stir well, spoon onto the uncooked meatloaf, spreading all over the top and sides. It's delish.

Also, I put my meatloaf on a baking rack covered with foil, then poke holes in it so the grease ends up in the baking pan. You can foil-line the pan too, for easier cleanup.

I'm not a big meatloaf lover either but this is delish!! I got this recipe from a magazine, the woman who made it changed the ingredients to make it leaner than the original recipe. My boys are picky but they really like it. Having it for dinner tonight!!

That reminded me of a meatloaf pan my dad used to have. It looked like a loaf but had a little grate type insert that lifted the loaf up so the grease could go to the bottom of the pan. Must find that pan.
