Meatloaf isn’t generally this healthy, but this one is lower in calories and higher in fiber than traditional recipes.  The key is using ground round instead of chuck, and replacing breadcrumbs with oatmeal.

• 3/4  cup  ketchup, divided
• 1/2  cup  quick-cooking oats
• 1/4  cup  minced fresh onion
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh parsley
• 1  tablespoon  brown sugar
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  pepper
• 2  large egg whites, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2  pounds  ground round
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine 1/2 cup ketchup, oats, and next 6 ingredients (oats through egg whites) in a large bowl. Add meat; stir just until blended. Shape meat mixture into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Brush 1/4 cup ketchup over meat loaf. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
