Helpful hints

Substitute ground turkey for beef if desired.
This meatloaf is very garlicky. Adjust the amount of garlic powder and onion powder to suit your taste.
Reduce carbohydrate to 17 grams by substituting 1/4 cup Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend for the 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Portion leftover meatloaf into individual servings, wrap and freeze for a quick meatloaf sandwich or meal later.
