Quick Skillet Meat Loaf


I have some hamburger meat defrosting at home and searched the internet to come up with a healthy way to make it I was running out of luck when i came across this idea. So i will stop by the store on my way home to pick up liquid egg substitute and give this a dry tonight. Wish me luck. I will post a picture and an update of its taste.

Stovetop meat loaf filled with Mozzarella cheese and topped with tomato sauce.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Difficulty Intermediate
Yields 6 servings

Ingredients
1 cooking spray
1/2 cup fresh chopped onion (i will omit this as i do not like the taste of onions)
1 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ground oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 lb extra lean ground beef (5% fat)
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
3/4 cup part skim shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup no-salt tomato sauce

Directions
1 Coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat until hot.
2 Add onion and garlic; cook for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring often. Stir in oregano and pepper. Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl.
3 Wipe skillet with a paper towel; coat bottom of skillet with cooking spray.
4 Add ground beef and egg substitute to onion mixture; mix well and divide in half.
5 Place half of meat mixture in skillet, and pat lightly to spread mixture evenly over bottom of skillet. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Pat remaining meat mixture evenly over cheese.
6 Place skillet over high heat; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until bottom of meat mixture is browned.
7 Cut into 6 wedges. Turn each wedge over carefully, and cook 3 to 4 additional minutes or until meat is browned and cheese is melted.
8 Pour tomato sauce over meat; cover and cook 1 additional minute.
Serve immediately.
