This is no where near a traditional recipe for meatloaf. It is packed full of flavor and looks great on your plate. I had no leftovers at all. My son ate four slices of this meatloaf and he isn't a big fan of meatloaf. I followed the directions completely except I didn't saute my onions in butter to cut some of the fat out. The only change I would make next time is double the meat because there are a lot of vegetables in this recipe. I will definately be making this again for my friends and family.
