Mouth-Watering Meatloaf

Submitted by These hands can cook

"This has some hidden veggies in it so the little ones can get their veggies in while enjoying a great meatloaf. There's a lot of flavor to this meatloaf and I could never tell there was added veggies when I was little. So good! Serve this with some garlic mashed potatoes and fresh italian green beans. Or, for a lighter version of this... I've subsituted ground turkey and it still comes out tasting great. Enjoy!"
