4. Mexican Meatloaf

I got this recipe right out of my Weight Watchers BOOK 1: Food Plan Basics. It was really very tasty, but the next time I make it I will probably omit the onion or dice it much, much smaller. I made a little extra because Ashley was eating with us, so mine came out to 7 servings, but was still a cool 3 points per serving. I am posting the original here.

Mexican Meatloaf - 3 Points per serving
6 servings
Special Equipment: Broiler pan or something similar.

cooking spray
1/2 pound(s) raw extra lean ground beef
1/2 pound(s) lean ground turkey, breast
2 large egg white(s)
2 oz cornbread stuffing dry mix, (about 1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
4 oz canned green chili peppers, diced
8 oz canned enchilada sauce

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix beef, turkey, egg whites, stuffing mix, onion, chili powder, cumin, chilies and half of enchilada sauce together. Shape into an oval with your hands and place on prepared broiler pan.

Cook for 1 hour, top with remaining enchilada sauce and bake for 5 minutes (it looked like it needed more time so I gave it ten minutes here) more. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.
