Here are a few tips for making the best skinny meatloaf:

  • Use lean ground beef. The leaner the beef, the lower the fat content of your meatloaf will be.

  • Use whole wheat bread crumbs. Whole wheat bread crumbs will add fiber and nutrients to your meatloaf.

  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough.

  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly.

  • Let the meatloaf cool before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
