Spa Index Kitchen Notes

This meatloaf is packed with veggies to help maintain moisture and nutritional value. Easy to make gluten-free, dairy free and nut free.  The "gravy” is rich in lycopene, vitamin C and contains less saturated fat than most gravy recipes.

A serving size is approximately 5-6 oz cooked meatloaf (slice the pan into 8 thick slices or 16 thin slices) and 3-4 tablespoons of sauce.

As shown in the photo, Skyterra griddles this meatloaf, after slicing, for a nice golden crust which is desirable with ground poultry dishes.
