MEATLOAF, ofcourse!
I can honestly say that my Mum never made this as I was growing up.
I think the first time I ever experienced it was when I had dinner at my then boyfriend's (now husband) house nearly 20 years ago. Like all of my Mother-in-Law's cooking, it was rather yummo.
I looked forward to making it myself somewhere in the future. It would end up being one of the regular stars on our meal plan menu, accompanied by roast veges!
Some people make gravy to top it off, and we did too. On the odd occasion I would forget and we would just have to make do with tomato sauce, which turned out better in my opinion (I detest instant gravy!) Turns out I'm not alone in that opinion!
So, I went looking on Kidspot recipes to see what they had to offer in the way of meatloaves, and I came across the heading "healthy meatloaf"..I was intrigued.

I loved it for two reasons... (1) it was a vessel for smuggling veges and (2) it had a saucy glaze.
Winner, winner, er, meatloaf dinner!!
I have a secret weapon that assists with veggie smuggling - it's my trusty food processor. Makes the onion, zucchini and carrot very hard to detect. No whining about onion chunks here!
Overall, I was happy how it came together. Taste was fairly good, kids ate it up and the glaze was noice too.
That's better than 2/3! LOL! Get it?
Here's a picture of the loaf pre-oven:
Would I cook it again? Yep!
