EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can make this meat loaf in a 9x5-inch loaf pan, but patting it into a loaf in a slightly larger pan allows a nice brown surface to form on the top and sides.

Small cans of tomatoes with green chilies are available in a couple of brands. They are sometimes found in the Mexican foods section and sometimes are with the canned vegetables. If you can't find a 10-ounce can, use a little more than 1 cup from a 14.5-ounce can of Mexican-flavor diced tomatoes.

read labels on evrtiehyng use the products with low carbs and low sugar. beware of lables that say "sugar free" because this doesn't mean low carb! For examle, flour and starchy foods may have no sugar but have lots of carbs.

Very moist and tasty, my boyfriend complains that he doesnt like meatloaf b/c it was always so dry everytime he has had it but not this! He enjoyed it and had seconds. Didnt eat with salsa and used regular diced tomatoes with out chillies just because thats what I had on hand.
