This zesty beef meatloaf recipe is one of my favorites. The best part about it is that touch of spicy that most meatloaf recipes don’t have. AND the added nutrients from the vegetables is a bonus. When we make this meatloaf we make a bunch of them and throw them in the freezer for a quick and easy meal. During these times, being able to plan ahead matters.

Keeping to yourself is pretty important these days and if you can limit how often you venture into public you’ll limit your risk to exposure.
When I go shopping I go to two places. I go to Sam’s Club to buy my meats, canned goods, and a few other items and I go to my local store for the remainder of the items. If you’ve ever shopped at Sam’s you know all about bulk and needing a plan to use up what you buy. This meatloaf recipe does just that!
