This is a good healthy meatloaf. I like the addition of carrots and bulgar wheat. I prefered it topped with ketchup. When I'll do it again, I'll add ketchup before baking. Or maybe a little bit of ketchup mixed with the meat. It would add a little bit of moisture. Thanks Syd :) Made for PRMR tag game
