HAVE to Share-- 175 calories for two Meatloaf Muffins

Found the recipe on Cooking Light, made even lighter by using only one lb of extra lean ground beef and egg whites only.

Cooking spray
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1 tsp oregano
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup ketchup, divided
1 lb extra lean ground beef (original recipe calls for 1 and 1/2 lb)
1 cup finely crushed fat free saltine crackers (about 20)
2 tbsp prepared mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
6 tbsp egg whites only (original recipe calls for 2 large eggs)

Preheat oven to 350.

Heat a nonstick skillet with a little bit of cooking spray over med-high heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, dried oregano, and minced garlic. Saute 2 minutes. Cool.

Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.

Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Top each with 2 tsp ketchup. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160. Let stand 5 minutes.

Each serving is 2 muffins. Original recipe was 276 calories, 8.6g fat, 28.7g protein
My version is 176 calories, 3g fat, 10g protein



Please remember to use a tiny square of aluminum foil to make cleanup easier and keep the muffins together a little more. I usually do, but this time I forgot.
