Spicy Meatloaf

This was a decent Weight Watchers meal. My meatloaf fell apart a bit when it came out of the pan but it tasted great, especially topped with a bit of salsa, sour cream and fresh cilantro. I know meatloaf sometimes gets a bad rap but I find it yummy and easy to make! Another favorite meatloaf of mine is Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf.


Ingredients:
1 spray cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
1 cup rolled oats
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 oz canned green chili peppers (or substitute fresh peppers, I used 4 small Serrano peppers, chopped)
1 large egg
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin powder
8 oz salsa, divided

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients, except half of salsa, in a large mixing bowl; set remaining salsa aside. Spoon meatloaf mixture into prepared pan and smooth top.

Bake for 60 minutes; spoon remaining sauce over meatloaf and cook 5 minutes more. Slice into eight pieces.
Yields 1 piece per serving.

Servings: 8
Points plus: 4

Looks yummy! I think everyone secretly likes meatloaf, but no one will admit it. :)

Yum looks delish! I've only started eating meatloaf in the last few years and love it now!

It's no secret I like meatloaf. Your version looks delicious and light to boot! I love how you added a mexican touch to it; yummy!

I don't eat meat, but I think I could easily substitute vegetarian "beef" into this recipe. Especially since I just started Weight Watchers again.

Looks fantastic either way!

We love retro recipes in my house. We invented something similar using ground turkey and tomato sauce. Yum.

Oh yum! I love meatloaf, and the flavors in this are terrific. Really love the use of the salsa on top.
