 hi friends welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another video in my comfort food series what is more comforting than meatloaf nothing well maybe mac and cheese but meatloaf is one of the most comforting foods ever and it is that time of year where meatloaf crockpot meals comfort food comes back so tonight i have a delicious w w friendly meatloaf for you i also am going to share my potato soup recipe that was in my instant pot video down in the description box we're having that soup with our meatloaf this dinner was so good my husband loved it men are typically a big fan of comfort food especially red meat so this meatloaf was amazing and the smart points were spectacular so if you want to see what i have in store for this episode of my comfort food on w w just stay tuned for tonight's comfort food dinner we are going to be having meatloaf i am so excited with the changing weather meatloaf just sounds really good and it is extremely low smart point so let me show you what is in our meatloaf so first you're going to need some milk or milk alternative of your choice brown sugar alternative i'm going to be using the sucran gold any type of breadcrumbs or you could even use crushed up crackers whatever you prefer but i'm going to be doing this roasted garlic breadcrumbs of course some salt and pepper some sugar some or sugar ketchup so i'm going to be doing the ghu sugar-free ketchup worcestershire sauce lots of spices chili powder parsley minced onion ground sage garlic powder and ground mustard we're going to need one and a half pounds of lean ground beef so i'll just put the other half a pound back in the freezer and some eggs so let's get started on our meatloaf so to get started on our meatloaf we are going to add three quarters of a cup of milk and we're going to add two eggs and we want about a teaspoon of worcestershire sauce so you know your girl doesn't measure so i'm just going to kind of wing about a teaspoon of that and i'm going to give this a stir make sure those eggs get broken up and everything gets mixed together and then we'll add some of our ingredients once your egg and milk is nice and combined we're going to add in one quarter cup of minced onion or if you went ahead and used raw onion you would do about a quarter of a cup of that as well also we have one half of a cup of the roasted garlic breadcrumbs we're going to add some pepper and again with salt and pepper in most seasonings i honestly just do it to taste so i'm going to add a little bit of pepper and i'm also going to add in a little salt garlic powder and again i'm winging it here it wants about three teaspoons of garlic powder so a decent amount in there we're also going to add in some chili powder about a teaspoon of chili powder now we don't like our food spicy so i go pretty light on anything that has spice in it we're also going to be adding in some sage so about a half of a teaspoon or so of ground sage and lastly i have some parsley and i'm going to add in about a teaspoon of parsley and then we're going to get this mixed together and we're ready to add in our hamburger this is where things get messy we're going to combine our hamburger with this deliciousness with our hands it just definitely makes it a little bit easier so let's add our hamburger so i've went ahead and added my one and a half pounds of ground beef the other half a pound i'm just going to put back into the freezer so it's time to get our hands in and just mix that meat in really good with our breadcrumb mixture and then you can either cook your meatloaf in a bread pan or i'm going to go ahead and form mine on a cookie sheet i think it helps a little bit better with the grease it allows the grease to run off even though this is extra lean meat they're still going to be a little bit of grease so i prefer to just shape mine into a meatloaf shape on a cookie sheet so let me get this breadcrumb mixture all combined here with my hamburger and we'll be ready to get our meatloaf on the sheet pan and ready to go into the oven so once you have your meat nice and mixed together that looks so good we're going to go ahead and pull out our meatloaf and we're going to put it here on a cookie sheet and we're just going to form it into a loaf and again i prefer this only because it does really help cut down on the grease so i want to get it as even as possible it's about i would say 10 inches or so long and maybe about an inch and a half thick or so so that's a good sized loaf for the meatloaf and then we're going to put together our topping but this looks really good i can't wait so now let's put together our glaze our meatloaf is about 10 minutes out so i'm going to be using the g hues sugar-free ketchup and i want about a quarter of a cup i'm not measuring because it is zero points and by the way this sugar-free ketchup in my opinion is better than the low sugar one this one is so good so i added that i'm going to add just a little bit of yellow ground mustard you could also use regular mustard if you want and two teaspoons of my sucre and gold and i'm going to stir this all together and then we're ready to glaze our meatloaf and this will get that nice caramelized coating oh yum so let me pull my meatloaf out and we'll add our glaze all right so i just pulled my meatloaf out and i'm just going to add my glaze to the top of course it's okay if it kind of drips down the side and then of course you can serve this with additional ketchup or steak sauce or whatever you prefer on your meatloaf i like mine just like this but i know my husband will be adding some ketchup i'm not a huge ketchup person not my favorite condiment in the world so i'm okay with my meatloaf just like this with this delicious glaze on it so i'm going to put this back into the oven for about 10 more minutes and then our meatloaf will be ready to go so look at that it's looking delicious i just pulled the meatloaf out of the oven it looks so delicious i'm going to let it rest for just a few minutes i'm going to cut this into six servings i'm going to plate it up with some vegetables and then we're also having some of the leftover instant pot potato soup i will link that video down below for you guys so you can see that recipe the potato soup is delicious so let me get this plated up and i'll be back to show you my dinner and give you the smart points here is my dinner for tonight this looks so good and comforting what's better to comfort food than meatloaf so i have one sixth of my meatloaf so this is quite a large piece one sixth is only five smart points so that's a good amount of meatloaf for the points i have some california blend vegetables with some spray butter salt and pepper for zero and then i have half of a serving of the instant pot potato soup with a little bit of green onion and bacon on top and that is two smart points so this entire dinner is only seven smart points and you can't beat meatloaf for five thank you for coming along with me on another episode in my w w comfort food series i hope you enjoyed seeing this meatloaf recipe it was really good and the meatloaf was very tender
