This easy to make, moist & flavourful meatloaf is perfect for anyone wanting a healthier version of this American classic. Perfect for anyone following the Weight Watchers plan, low in WW Personal Points. It was just 6 SmartPoints on the Green plan and 5 SmartPoints on the Blue or Purple plan.
Use 5 pumps of calorie controlled spray oil to grease a loaf tin (approx 9 inches by 5 inches)
Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, minced garlic, black pepper, crumbled stock cubes/bouillon, milk and 2 tablespoons of the tomato ketchup into a large bowl.
Mix with a wooden spoon (or your hands if you prefer) to combine all of the ingredients.
Stir in the chopped parsley if using.
The mixture will be wet but this leads to a moist, succulent meatloaf that is less inclined to crumble once cooked.
Place the meat loaf mixture into the pre greased loaf tin and smooth the top.
Mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of ketchup with the sugar, white wine vinegar and mustard to make a glaze.
Spread half of the glaze on top of the meatloaf and set aside the rest for later.
Place the meatloaf on the middle shelf of the preheated oven and cook for 50 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread over the remaining glaze.
Place back in the oven for a further 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the loaf stand for 10 minutes or so before slicing it into 8 generous slices.
