Happily, most supermarkets sell lean ground beef. I used the 96% lean ground beef from Trader Joe’s.
Serving Tips
While the meatloaf is in the oven make a yummy potato side dish. Try Guilt-free Mashed Potatoes with Butter, Sour Cream and Chives or Dairy-Free Skinny Mashed Potatoes, or Skinny Fries. WW Freestyle SmartPoints 4-Blue

Tried this recipe?Let me know how it was!
Marcy, I would triple the recipe but then make 3 separate loaves. I don’t think one large loaf would be good.
I hope this helps!
My best,

Hello,
I am tripling the recipe but confused when forming the loaves? Do I make three separate loaves or all one? If all one then shouldn’t the size of the loaf change and how it is cut up?
This meatloaf freezes great after baking. I’ve never tried to freeze before baking.
Let me know if you give it a try, Colleen.
All the best,
Nancy
Any thoughts on freezing the premade loaves and before baking?
Thanks, Linda. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ve never made this with Splenda brown sugar. Good to know you.
All the best,
Nancy
