This meatloaf was one of the only ways I could get my daughter to eat her vegetables when she was young. Your kids will have no idea this is good for them! If they can't see it, it isn't there, right?
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup ketchup
3/4 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup pureed vegetables, (food processor or blender) (I use 1/2 cup carrots and 1/2 cup broccoli)
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions
dash of salt and pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, bread crumbs, blended vegetables, French-fried onions, salt and pepper.
Shape into loaf and fit into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Bake, covered loosely with foil, at 350 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes.
Remove foil; spread 1/4 cup ketchup over meatloaf and bake additional 15 minutes.
What the kids don't know won't hurt 'em!

Sure, your kids will have no idea at the time, but when they find out...I will never forget it!
