BACON-WRAPPED ZUCCHINI MEATLOAF

BACON-WRAPPED ZUCCHINI MEATLOAF – I do declare I’m a meatloaf lover, always have been and always will be! I tend to think if you’re a hater then it’s because you just never had the opportunity to try a good one.

It’s hard to understand how you could dislike this being it’s so chock full of flavor and delicious things beginning with shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, chili powder and Worcestershire plus ketchup, eggs and breadcrumbs to hold it all together.

Because all that wasn’t enough slices of bacon are enticingly draped up top, the crowning glory to finish it off and seal the meatloaf-lovin’ deal.

It’s virtually impossible for this meatloaf to be dry or tasteless with the zucchini, onion and peppers to keep it moist as well as the bacon. A little of the grease does go into the meatloaf but not much – it isn’t greasy at all – most of it drips down into the pan where you can discard it.

There isn’t one stand out flavor – everything comes together for one of the tastiest meatloaves I ever made – so moist and tender without falling apart making it perfect for leftover sandwiches. My favorite part.

This is one of the good ones.

For meatloaf lovers and haters alike.
