Spicy Meatloaf With Lamb, Weight Watchers Count Your Points!

Submitted by Chef 91302

"Flavorful meatloaf made with a combination of ground lamb, lean ground beef and wonderful spice. I serve on a decorative piece of green leaf lettuce, accompanied by home made, yogurt based Greek Tzatziki (which nicely offsets the spice for 0 points) feta cheese sprinkles, sliced tomatoes and sliced onions. A deliciously complete meal for under 8 points per serving."

• 1⁄2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 1⁄3 cup tomato paste

• 2 egg whites, combined and lightly beaten

directions

1. Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, Tabasco & Worcestershire and seasoning mix. Saute until mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, stirring occasionally while scraping the bottom of the pan, about 6 minutes. Stir in the evaporated milk and tomato paste, continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In large mixing bowl, combine beef, lamb and breadcrumbs. Knead by hand until breadcrumbs are absorbed into meat mixture. Add the egg and egg whites, lightly beaten. Knead again until absorbed. Remove the bay leaves and then add the cooked vegetable mixture. Again, mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
4. Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan, transfer the mixture and shape into a loaf about 1 1/2 inches high, 8 inches wide and long. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes on top.
5. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, raise the temperature to 400 and continue to cook another 35 minutes. Let set for 5 minutes before slicing. I slice into 10 pieces by making one cut down the middle and four across.
