Ingredients

1 1/2 lb ground beef and/or ground sirloin
2 carrots
1 zucchini
1/2 apple, cored
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/4 c celery, chopped
1/2 c bread crumbs
1 egg
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic, crushed or minced
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp garam masala spice
1 1/2 c tomato sauce, divided
1/2 c cheddar/jack cheese

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place meat in a large bowl, set aside.
2. Using a blender or food processor, finely chop the zucchini, carrot and apple. Add to meat.
3. Also add to the meat the celery, onion, bread crumbs, egg, worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, basil, garam masala, and a 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Blend well....don't be afraid to get you hands in there and mix it up thoroughly.
4. Transfer meat to a 9x12 casserole dish and form a large rectangle, leaving approximately 1-2 inches around all sides.
5. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. Tip: If too juicy, I like to remove the extra juices using a spoon or suction.

This meatloaf was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time.
