Frozen mixed vegetables make this meatloaf easy and full-flavored, and the vegetables add some extra nutrients to the mix. The meatloaf is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables.
Add some shredded cheddar cheese to the meatloaf to give it extra flavor and texture. Use about 1/2 pound of lean ground pork with the ground beef for a moister meatloaf.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups soft bread cubes
- 1/4 cup onion (chopped)
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 large eggs (beaten)

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
-
Line a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan with foil.
-
In a large bowl, pour milk over bread cubes and let stand until milk is absorbed.
-
To the bread and milk mixture add the chopped onion, ground beef, salt, eggs, and dry mustard; blend well.
-
Stir in vegetables.
-
Place the meat mixture in the prepared baking pan and shape it into an oblong loaf. Alternatively, pack gently into a large loaf pan.

Recipe Variations
- Top the meatloaf with ketchup or barbecue sauce just before it's finished baking.
- Add about 1 cup of shredded cheese to the meatloaf mixture along with the vegetables.
- Add cheese slices—American, mozzarella, cheddar, etc.—to the top of the loaf and return it to the oven. Bake for a few minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- To make the meatloaf more appealing to kids, chop the vegetables into finer pieces and bake the meat mixture in muffin cups.
