Roasted Veggie Meatloaf

I love to cook!  I especially love seasonal flavors! My latest creation is a recipe I found and adapted. My family loves it and I will definitely post a picture after it is done baking! I always hated meatloaf, but this recipe is outstanding! It's also an amazing way to sneak veggies into my girls. Here is it:

1 red bell pepper

2 zucchini 

1 md. onion

dice the above veggies, and toss with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. roast at 450 for 25-30 minutes, until tender. 

puree veggies, and add one cup to the following:

1 lb ground sirloin

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp margoram

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup and 1 egg, and fold into the meat mixture. 

put into a loaf pan, and top with additional 1/2 cup ketchup. bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the juices run clear. 

then you can use the remaining veggie puree as a sauce (or leave it chunky and use as a relish)

I serve it with mashed yukon golds. YUM!
