Spinach Meatloaf with Roasted Butternut Squash
6 steps
Prep:10minCook:45min
This meatloaf is a little unorthodox, adding a whole pound of chopped spinach. It's a great alternative to my classic meatloaf, containing more vegetables but still the same great flavor. It also doesn't use BBQ sauce, so this is good for when you've run out. I've paired it with some roasted butternut squash to act as a vegetable and carb side.
