Meatloaf is an excellent entree that can be created as part of a low fat meal. I used to chop, chop, chop all of the ingredients that I wanted to have in my meatloaf and then I had an idea...

Instead of chopping garlic, tomatoes, onions and peppers, I add in a jar of our favorite salsa that has everything we want already prepared!

This recipe is for four servings, double for more servings or even better, left overs!

EASIEST, TASTIEST MEATLOAF

1 lb. of lean ground beef

1 jar of tomato based salsa

1 egg white

salt and pepper to taste

green pepper rings or ketchup for garnish, optional

Beat egg white and mix throughly into ground beef. Pour in salsa 1/3 of a jar at a time and and mix. Mold into loaf pan. Bake at four hundred degrees for 35 minutes for 1 lb. or 55 minutes for two lbs.

To dress up a meat loaf you can add green pepper ring slices to the top and or our favorite tradition that we started one year on Valentine's Day is to make a ketchup heart on top. No matter how you slice it, a slice of this meatloaf will be healthy and delicious and no one has to know just how easy it was!
