Why not try this great tasting meat Loaf that is sure to please most appetites. It is hearty, comforting & full of flavor, & a great way to impress without breaking the bank & be insured that everyone will get enough & not leave the table hungry. This is a healthier alternative to traditional meat loaf, since it is made with lean ground turkey and 90% lean ground beef. The garlic & onion powder along with 2 types of onions & sweet red Bell Pepper adds lots of flavor. Your guest will really be impressed at how well the flavors come together.Heinz is the only way to TOP this meat Loaf.
