This Hearty Fall Meatloaf is the perfect easy weeknight dinner. This is not your grandmother’s old fashioned meatloaf. Each slice is packed with vegetables, hard cooked egg, and tangy barbecue sauce. Although I prefer to use a combination of ground beef and turkey, you can use all ground beef or turkey, or even ground chicken. Enjoy!
