I like to add more veggies wherever I can so when I make meatloaf I lightly sautee diced onion, garlic, celery and peppers until they are just softened but still a little crunchy. I then add a can of fire roasted canned tomatoes. Once it's cool I add this mixture to 2 pounds of ground meat-beef, beef and pork whatever you like along with 3 eggs, whole wheat bread crumbs and a generous shake of Penzey's southwestern seasoning and ground pepper. It's a little sloppy but moldable(is that a word?) and I cook it at 350 for an hour and 15 minutes. The smell when it's cooking is incredible-drives the hounds crazy. There are only 2 of us-hounds can't share because of the onions so I freeze half and get 2 meals out of the rest. Seriously yum.
