Souperior Frosted Meatloaf

Another meatloaf recipe, this time with potato included and made more heart healthy by using ground turkey breast! All you need is a tossed green salad or steamed veggies for a nice basic meal!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1 (1 1/4ounce) envelope  dry onion soup mix, Lipton Beefy
• 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground turkey breast or 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground chicken breast
• 1  cup  soft breadcrumbs
• 1⁄4 cup ketchup (I use Hunt's but any brand will do)
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup egg substitute (Egg Beaters)
• 1 (4 ounce) package low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1⁄4 cup bacon bits (I use generic, but any brand will do)
•  mashed potatoes (instant, homemade or ready-made)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine soup mix, ground turkey, breadcrumbs, ketchup, water and egg substitute.
3. In a shallow baking pan, shape meat mixture into a loaf.
4. Bake in the pre-heated 350°F oven for 45 minutes.
5. Frost the loaf with the mashed potatoes; then sprinkle with the cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
6. Bake 5 more minutes in order to melt the cheese, NO browning involved; then remove from the oven and let 'settle' 5 min before serving.
7. Variation: you can also swap out the cheddar cheese for a different cheese such as monterey jack.
