This Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf is made with crumbled blue cheese and your favorite wing sauce. It makes a great change from traditional meatloaf.
I know I've said before that I'm thin and so is my daughter. I know I shouldn't use that as an excuse for not eating healthy, but the truth is I sometimes do. I do eat healthy sometimes, although clearly not evidenced by the recipes I've shared so far! When I do eat healthy it's along the lines of a salad, or steamed veggies, or baked plain fish, and I just haven't made anything special enough to share with you since I started blogging.
Even though, one of my favorite TV shows for years now has been The Biggest Loser. Simply because I love watching the contestants transform themselves! I think it's amazing how different they all look at the end of the season.
Among my somewhat large cookbook collection is The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook. I've made several of the recipes in it over the couple of years that I've had it. Yes, I do occasionally like recipes with things like lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
When I saw this Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf recipe in The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook it sounded like something I and my husband would love, only with a few modification to better suit my tastes. The original recipe calls for old-fashioned oats in place of bread crumbs, fat-free milk, egg whites instead of whole eggs, and reduced fat blue cheese. You can, of course, use those instead of my recipe below if your watching your diet. I honestly don't mind! To each their own, right?
Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf
I've made this many times with ground turkey instead of chicken, and both are just as good!

Joel says
ingredients list a quarter cup of milk and yet there's nothing down in the directions about adding milk. Does it take milk or not?
Bernadette says
Hi Joel. Thanks for asking, I never realized I didn't include it in the directions. Yes, it does take milk, just add it in with the meat mixture. I updated the recipe directions to include it!
MO3 says
Amazing! I doubled the recipe, added a little more sweet onions and I also substituted The Bleu Cheese WITH Feta Cheese...Great!!!!
Bernadette says
Ooh, feta cheese is great, too! So happy you liked it!
