A vegetable loaded meatloaf with a barbeque sauce top, has become a new household staple for dinner.  Each bite is loaded with veggies and flavor that even your toddlers will enjoy.   Its a healthy and flavorful alternative to the orginal meatloaf.

Depending on your family’s taste, you can alternate which vegetables go into the dish.  Somedays I make it with a bell pepper and carrots and other days I make it with zucchini.  Below is my zucchini and carrot loaded meatloaf.
