Bacon-Cheddar Meat Loaves

4 egg whites
1/2 cup crushed reduced-fat butter-flavored crackers (about 13 crackers)
1/3 cup plus 8 teaspoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound lean ground beef
2 turkey bacon strips, cut in half

In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, crackers, 1/3 cup cheese, onion, salt and
pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four small loaves;
place in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Top each with a half-strip of
bacon. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads
160°. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese
is melted.

Yield: 4 servings.
