Skinny Mexican Meatloaf

Get ready to make the most delicious meatloaf! Very different from a traditional one…It has all the great flavors of Mexican food in 1 skinny loaf. It’s so low in calories and fat thanks to using extra lean ground beef and free forming the loaf on a cookie sheet instead of baking in a loaf pan. Now all the fat oozes out onto the pan instead of staying in the meatloaf. The skinny for a generous 3 slice serving, 215 calories, 4 grams fat and 5 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.
