Pete's You've-Got-It-All Meatloaf

From the kitchen of agent, Pete G., Signal Mountain, TN

“Meatloaf when I was a kid was ho-hum at best, and when I was in college, it was greasy because the cheapest ground meat was fatty. As a parent, and now grandparent, the focus has been on eating healthy. When combined with a push to always have vegetables, and my focus on making it easy, I've put it all together in one recipe. This recipe has lean meats, vegetables, is tasty and easy to make. The recipe will feed 8 easily, but you can divide it up for smaller crowds. It freezes well for dinners later in the week, and is fantastic for sandwiches a day or two after.”
