1 tsp olive oil
1/2 medium onions , chopped finely
2 tsp fresh thyme , chopped
1 lb extra lean ground beef (5% fat)

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup plain unsalted melba toasts, crushed
1/8 tsp salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Sauté the onion in the skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the thyme and cook for 1 minute.
2 Mix the onion mixture and the beef together in a large bowl. Add the egg white, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Melba toast, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly.
3 Pour the mixture evenly into 2 (4 x 2 1/2-inch) lightly greased loaf pans. Bake for 35 minutes.
4 Combine the remaining tomato sauce and ketchup in a bowl. Spread this mixture over each meatloaf. Bake for 5 more minutes until heated.

Additional Information
These baby meatloaves freeze very well, so you can make a few extras for a night when you're too busy to cook! Use sugar-free tomato sauce and ketchup, and reduce the amount of crackers to bring the carb count down in this dish.
