Healthy isn’t the first thing I think of when I think of meatloaf. I wanted to change that a bit with this recipe and give this meatloaf some nutritional goodness. The added vegetables give great texture and crunch, and the Greek yoghurt and brown rice do wonders holding everything together.

I left off the traditional ketchup topping because I wanted to leave out sugar, but ketchup would be delicious on this meatloaf – maybe with a tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar mixed in. I did use the drippings to make a delicious gravy with some butter and flour. This meatloaf is hearty and incredibly flavorful and really super easy to make.
