This Mama's Meatloaf

This dish is by far one of my favorites to make and one of my favorites to eat. Probably because of all the hidden veggies and my kids desire to devour it every time! This is a staple in our home, and maybe it will become a staple in yours. Enjoy this Gina original...

Ingredients:
10oz of 95/5 ground beef
1/2 bell pepper
handful fresh parsley (if measured maybe 3-4 TBS chopped)
3oz baby pearl white mushrooms
7 baby carrots
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/2 small sweet onion
1 tomato on the vine
1 egg
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Chop all veggies (including parsley) in food processor

3. Mix ALL ingredients in a bowl and then shape into a loaf.

4. Bake for 1-1.5 hours or until done. It will be done after an hour, but because all the veggies the consistency is mushier then regular meatloaf and a little longer in the oven helps to alleviate that.

We enjoy this with a side of summer squash and sweet potato fries!
