Fall is here! For me, fall marks the beginning of warm, filling dinners cooked in the oven without the fear of my house overheating. Otherwise known as – meatloaf season. This healthy, gluten free stuffed meatloaf is one the whole family will enjoy! I absolutely love a good meatloaf. Nothing warms me up more than a delicious, hearty meal. A game changer for me and this recipe was our meatloaf pan. It sat in the cupboard for a long time before I finally used it, and WOW. What was once a semi-soggy loaf (which no one wants) was now drained of the grease in the bottom of the pan. As a meatloaf lover and someone who is looking out for their weight, I love this pan. It also makes the meatloaf easier to serve! Never in my young life could you have convinced me that I would get excited about meatloaf pans.. but here we are..
I stuff this meatloaf with light goat cheese for an extra flavor burst. Stuffing the meatloaf with goat cheese is entirely optional and I have made this recipe plenty of times without it. I will say, that I used to be unsure of goat cheese, or any cheese that wasn’t regular. Goat cheese provides an awesome cheese flavor using significantly less than a cheddar counterpart. Less cheese = less calories, but still, there is cheese!
Since Fit and Frugal Mommy’s move to include Weight Watchers Freestyle Smartpoints, I am most excited that this recipe didn’t require modification to be a reasonable dinner recipe. Paired with a garden salad and light dressing, this dinner lands you between 6-8 Smartpoints! Sometimes, all you want is a deliciously filling meatloaf to warm your soul, without breaking your point bank!
You can modify this recipe to use ground turkey. Using a lean ground turkey makes this recipe 3 WW Freestyle Smartpoints. While that makes an incredible low point option, sometimes you just need beef!
