Trying to eat better while still making my men happy! I combined my favorites from three different recipes to create this. Cinnamon can be omitted if preferred. Fantastic with homemade apple sauce!

This was a very flavorful, colorful meatloaf! I substituted red and yellow peppers for green. This is not a recipe you can hide veggies in easily (unless you diced them really small) , but it’s perfect for those who love veggies and flavor. I used my own spices (basil, oregano, parsley, pepper, Accent) and fresh garlic for seasonings. Will definitely make again!
Easy to make and tasted fantastic.
Nice healthy meatloaf. The low sodium seasoning did add some nice flavor to the meatloaf as did the veggies. The carrots I added were still a little bit firm in the loaf so if you prefer softer veggies, you may want to sauté them first. Having leftovers tonight in a cold meatloaf sandwich
