Beef and Veggie Meatloaf

There are a lot of classic meals that most American families grew up eating. One of them is meat loaf. But sometimes they are classics for a reason, I am all about convenience and taste. I wanted something simple and that could last for a majority of the week so I went with meatloaf, but my recipe includes some things that usually aren’t involved in an original recipe.
