Weight Watchers meatloaf, a tasty savory meatloaf made moist and delicious by the addition of lots of finely chopped vegetables
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 cup finely chopped white mushrooms
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 pound lean ground beef (7% or less)
- ½ cup quick-cooking oats (not instant)
- 2 large egg whites
- 3 tablespoons ketchup, plus more for brushing on top
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Spray a 4-1/2 x 8-1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set
over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion carrot, and celery. Cook,
stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.

additional ketchup on top of the loaf, if desired. Cook until done, an
