Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (the leaner the better, or lean ground turkey)
• 3/4 cup Oats or ground oats
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 4 egg whites
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 cups shredded fat free Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the meat, oats, onion, eggs, salt and pepper, and mix well. 
3. Place half of mixture into meatloaf pan, spread cheese on top of meat in the center. Cover with second half of meat, pressing down on sides to keep cheese from oozing out. 
4. Bake in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

You can play with this recipe to your preference. I usually add some Worstershire to the meat mix or whatever I have on hand. You can also fill the inside with fat free swiss cheese and mushrooms, Mmmm. Also try making a taco meatloaf by adding a few Taco Mix packets into your meat mix!
