I cook for elderly parents, and knew this would be a hit for them with all of the wonderful veggies! I did cut the recipe in half, and cut back slightly on the garlic, otherwise made as written. My parents really enjoyed this, and have plent left over to make burritos for lunch tomorrow (Dad's idea!) Thanks Boomette! Made for Potluck Tag

Hubby and I both really enjoyed this...I made as posted with the exception of using a full pound of lean ground beef...this came out nice and firm with a real meatloaf taste...we really couldn't taste the veggies so this would be great to serve to the little ones...I did use a hot salsa because we enjoy the heat...I served it with mashed potatoes and peas...yum...thanks for posting it! :)

My boyfriend both liked the meatloaf, but feel we would love it with a couple of minor changes. I would halve the zucchini, onion, oatmeal, and carrots and add a bit of salsa into the meat mixture. We couldn't really taste the meat much, and wanted some of the salsa taste in the meat mixture. I'll definitely make this again with those changes.
