meatloaf alla dee
This is a family favorite. It's a great way to get some veggies into the kids. Sometimes I do 2lb of pork, veal and beef mixture instead of all beef. This meatloaf is very tender & moist with the added vegetables.

How To Make meatloaf alla dee

Step 1Preheat oven to 350°F

Step 2Finely chop onion, bell pepper and carrots. I use the mini food processor for this step. It's just easier.
-
Step 3Saute the onion, bell pepper & carrots in the olive oil for about 8-10 minutes or until soft. -
Step 4Set vegetable mixture aside to cool down a little.
