"Low Carb" Meatloaf

I found this recipe several years ago when I was low-carbing. I'm fairly permanently low-carbing now, or at least high proteining. I am pretty much incapable of following recipes exactly- I just normally cannot force myself to do it. But when I follow this recipe in general, Bryson and I really like it- you might try it if you've never had meatloaf with ground mushrooms in it. Also I use "no salt added" tomato sauce nowadays to lower the sodium content.

MUSHROOM MEATLOAF

INGREDIENTS

- 1-1/2 pounds 95-percent-lean ground beef or ground turkey
- 2 cups very finely chopped fresh mushrooms
- 3/4 cup very finely chopped onion
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking (1-minute) oats
- 8-ounce can tomato sauce with roasted garlic or Italian herbs
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute
- 1/4 cup very finely chopped fresh parsley, or 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Place all of the ingredients except for 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in a large bowl, and mix well.

Coat a 9-by-5-inch meatloaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and press the mixture into the pan to form a loaf.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Spread the remaining tomato sauce over the meatloaf and bake for 30 additional minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink inside and a meat thermometer reads at least 160 degrees.

Remove the loaf from the oven, and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
