Ww 6 Point Assorted Vegetable Meatloaf (With Meat!)

Goegirl's Note:

Over the years, my meatloaf just has less and less meat in it. Not only is this yummy, moist and flavourful, but it's only 6 WW points! This is a great way to sneak veggies into the meat eaters in your house! My husband has no idea how little meat is in our meatloaf.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 50 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 lb ground lean pork (you can use chicken, turkey, veal... just something to broaden the flavour a bit)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup grated carrot
• 1/3 cup white beans, cooked and cold (leftover)
• 1/4 cup rice, cooked and cold (leftover is best, 1 cup cooked)
• 1/2 lb mushroom, pureed
• 1/2 lb fresh spinach (or 1 package frozen and drained)
• 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 onion, minced
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons wheat germ
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions:

1. Moosh the onions, mushrooms, spinach, carrots and beans and seasonings in the food processor (or you can just chop them up really fine). *You can use up almost any little bits of leftover veggies--as long as you chop them up fine enough! Try: fresh parsley, basil, dill is nice, steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, zucchini, parsnips, squash, mashed yams, etc.
2. Put all ingredients (except the ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar) into a large bowl or into the bowl of your mixer and mix together.
3. Mix ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar and spread it on the top of the loaf in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
4. Shape into a loaf and bake at 375°F for 60 - 90 minutes - till it reaches an internal temp of 170°F.
5. This is enough for two smaller loaves or one big loaf and a batch of meatballs.

We didn't care for this too much. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly yummy. Probably great for someone really looking to lower their meat consumption.
