Preheat oven to 350°F.

In bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Mix well.

Remove 1/4 cup of mixture from bowl to use later.

To the mixture in bowl, add garlic powder, egg, milk, beans, turkey and black pepper and mix well. 

Break up cereal squares and add them to the mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Shape into loaf pans. 

Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Brush on reserved ketchup mixture and back for 15 minutes.  

We served Magic Meat with zucchini, yellow squash, couscous and milk for a balanced meal. 

Food for Thought: Using ground turkey instead of ground beef decreases the fat in meatloaf. You can also add vegetables to increase the nutrition.
