Meatloaf Pot Roast

Submitted by Marie

"This is the best meat loaf I have ever had. The meat loaf is surrounded by potatoes, carrots and onions and baked together for a wonderful one dish comfort food meal. The meat loaf is very moist and tender and the veggies are soft and so tasty."

Good meatloaf recipe. My only problem was that tje veggies hadn't cooked after nearly 1 1/2 hours in the oven. I had to add some liquid to the pan and leave it in a half hour extra. The meatloaf had a good flavour and was moist. The vegetable were very tasty.
