Meatloaf Recipe

I finally got around to low-carbing my meatloaf recipe.  It's one of my SO's
favorite things so I am a bad girl for taking so long.  The secret flavoring
is a package of Knorr's Tomato Beef Soup (used to be called Oxtail, they
just renamed it).   It adds a few carbs but they are spread out over a lot
of loaf so it's not too bad.  I used to put oatmeal in and that had to go,
so I got some TVP and used it.  It turned out very well and SO says it's the
best I've ever made.  I put it in FitDay to get the nutritional breakdown.
The 4.2 lb. ground beef is what I happened to buy, anything around 4 lbs.
would do and the nutritional info wouldn't be off by much.

FOB's Meatloaf

4.2 lb. ground beef
1 cup TVP
1 tsp. beef base
2 cups water
3 eggs
2 large onions
1 pkg. Knorr's Tomato Beef (Oxtail) Soup Mix
pepper to taste

Dissolve the beef base (I use Minor's, it's excellent) in 1 cup water, add
to the TVP and let sit.  Put other cup of water into your blender along with
the eggs, onions cut into chunks, and the soup mix.  Blend until onions are
nicely chopped up.  Put everything into a large bowl and mix well, I end up
using my hand, nothing else seems to work as well.  Shape into loaves in two
9" x 13" pans.  Bake at 350º F for about an hour.

Nutritional info: per oz. finished product, 71 cal, 5 g fat (2 sat), carb
.8, fiber .2, protein 4.7

This looks great. I seem to make my meatloaf differently every time.
Last time, I used a relatively small amount of oat bran as the filler,
which was very good. It's 21 g net carbs per 1/3 cup, and I used that
with 2 lb. beef. It seems to absorb a lot of liquid, which is good
because I use a fair amount of minced celery and onions in mine. I'll
have to try the soup mix, if I can find it around here.

I sure like a nice meat loaf once in a while. Especially with mashed,
buttered cauliflower and steamed French green beans (I love the frozen
ones from Trader Joe's - the only better ones I've had have been home
grown.)
