Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
2 cups finely chopped brown mushrooms
1/4 cup French onion soup/dip seasoning mix
1/4 cup (about 2 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
2 tbsp. whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread
3 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
3 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese cut into quarters

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix beef, mushrooms, seasoning mix, egg whites/substitute, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and pepper.
Evenly transfer to muffin pan, and smooth out the tops. Bake until firm with lightly browned edges, about 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook and stir for 15 minutes.
Add chopped garlic, and cook and stir until garlic is fragrant and onions have caramelized, about 3 more minutes.
Evenly spoon onions over meatloaves and top with cheese. Bake until melted, about 3 minutes.
