Angie's Meatloaf Muffins

I found this on the community recipe's at WeightWatchers.com

Thank you to Laura who mentioned her own version of this in the meeting room. She adds extra veggies to the muffins so she can get it into her kids. Now that's a great idea!

Instructions

Add egg substitute beaten with the half & half, Worcestershire sauce and bread crumbs. Mince the garlic clove and add to the meat mixture with the salt and pepper. Mix the meatloaf together with your hands. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill the muffin cups with slightly less than 1/3 cup each of the meat mixture. Top with about 1 teaspoon of ketchup on each muffin, spreading to cover. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Special Notes

I adapted this yummy recipe from one of Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals and made it Weight Watcher friendly. Two muffins equal four points - or, if you are low on points that day, have one muffin and load up on veggies!! Not only is it speedy - it's really satisfying! I built this recipe through the builder for point value accuracy. Enjoy!!
