Directions
  1. Mix all ingredients for meatloaf together gently. Form into a loaf and place in baking dish or pan big enough to hold meat and veggies. Arrange carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic and onions around meatloaf; season with salt and pepper. Add more ketchup on meatloaf. I add alittle water to the pan to help cook. Cover pan with foil; bake at 375° for about 50 min. uncover and baste meat loaf with pan juices and bake 15 - 20 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. serves 4.
  2. Preparation with out veggies:
  3. Mix all ingredients together gently. Form into a loaf and place in baking dish or loaf pan. Top with more ketchup if desired. Bake at 375° for about 1 hour.
  4. I like it served with fresh yellow squash sauteed with sliced red onions and garlic in butter and olive oil. see recipe posted

I like to mix the ketchup with brown sugar and diced tomatoes... Gives it a little sweeter taste and some different texture!
