1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray. Combine beef, carrot, celery, and cauliflower.

3. Mix the boullion granules with the water until dissolved. Pour this into the meat mixture, mix until combined. Add the crackers, onion powder, and pepper. Mix well.

Delicious tasting meatloaf! I wouldn't think of adding carrots and cauliflower but it works. I had to cook mine for almost an hour. Made for PAC Spring 2012.

This was a pretty tasty meatloaf. The texture is nice & juicy. I used a metal pan, and it took about 55 minutes to be done. Made for My 3 Chefs Fall '08.
