Helpful hints

  • Substitute ground turkey for beef if desired.
  • This meatloaf is very garlicky. Adjust the amount of garlic powder and onion powder to suit your taste.
  • Reduce carbohydrate to 17 grams by substituting 1/4 cup Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend for the 1/2 cup brown sugar.
  • Portion leftover meatloaf into individual servings, wrap and freeze for a quick meatloaf sandwich or meal later.
