Buffalo Chicken-Blue Cheese Meat Loaf

By dette

I don't think a single seaon of the Biggest Loser has gone by without some o f the contestants complaining that they miss their chicken wings. At first I created a lighter buffalo wint plate with the typical wings, crrot sticks, celery sticks, and blue cheese dressing-just like you'd get at the local bar. But then I realized that the components woudl be excellent if turned into a meaet loaf. So here it is. Just be cautous of wing sauces with too much dosium. The brands with less sodium often have a bit more fat, but since you tend to use such a small amount they're generally a better choice. Adn look for a thick, all-natural sauce, but definitely not a thn one like Tavasco; I like to use Wing Time Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce.
