Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Sorry, no photo for this one, but it really just looked like a traditional meatloaf, nothing special. It was a fun twist on the original with the cheese, though! And packed with veggies, what more could you ask for?

Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Ingredients:
-2 cups breadcrumbs*
-1 carrot
-a couple celery ribs
-1 onion
-2 lbs ground beef
-2 eggs
-1/4 c ketchup
-salt and pepper
-colby jack cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400.

1. Cut veggies into 1 inch pieces and process in a food processor until finely chopped.
2. In a large bowl, mix: breadcrumbs, veggies, ground beef, eggs, ketchup, salt, and pepper. I prefer to take my rings off and use my hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
3. Press mixture flat into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Place cheese down the middle and then roll the beef around it, sealing all seems so the cheese is "locked" in.
4. Bake until cooked through, about 50 minutes.

*Substitute cornflake crumbs or cooked quinoa for GF version.
