Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork (unseasoned, not sausage)
1 medium onion, diced or grated
2 to 4 clove garlic, minced
1 large potato, peeled and grated
2 medium zucchini, grated
2 - 3 carrots, grated
1/2 bell pepper, diced or grated
1 c uncooked old fashioned oatmeal
3 large eggs
2/3 c milk
1/2 c ketchup
1 - 2 Tbsp brown sugar
salt to taste (i use kosher salt)
pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Crumble the ground beef and ground pork into a large mixing bowl. Add all ingredients and mix well with your hands. (Disposable kitchen gloves come in handy and help keep your manicure nice for this step but aren't a necessity.)
2. Shape into two large loaves. Bake side by side in a 13x9 inch pan, leaving at least a couple inches between the loaves. (I always use a glass pan but metal works as well) for 1-1/2 to 2 hrs.
3. Let stand for ten minutes after removing from oven.
4. This recipe makes two good sized loaves. It is our tradition that the day after a meatloaf dinner, the leftovers are sliced and fried in a cast iron skillet for sandwiches (on white bread with ketchup), and in order to have leftovers I had to increase the size of the recipe to what you see here.
