Total Time: 35 minutes

Game Plan

1. While oven heats for meat loaves:
• Combine ketchup and mustard
• Chop onion

2. While meat loaves bake:
• Prepare lettuce wedges
• Prepare mashed potatoes

Quick Tips

Using seasoned breadcrumbs rather than the plain, dry variety reduces the need for extra spices in the ingredient list.

Steak house-style lettuce wedges: Combine 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese, 1 tablespoon fat-free buttermilk, 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream, 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise, 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring well with a whisk. Cut a small head of iceberg lettuce into 4 wedges; place a wedge on each of 4 plates. Drizzle each wedge with about 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing.
