The dried
“ Italian
herbs
provide a real
flavour boost
to both the
meatloaf and
the editor
roast vegies.
This version is also less greasy
than traditional meatloaf recipes,
and the beans and oats give it
a nice, almost nutty, texture.

Prep time
“ was
quick,
cooking was
slow. But this
is a clever
way to get
um
the m
kids to eat
vegies. Best of all, they don’t
know the kidney beans are in
it. It could replace the Sunday
roast. A nice meal!

The multi-tasking super-mum
I had never
“ tried
meatloaf
before. It
looked weird,
but I really
loved it! It
the kid
was great
with the tomato sauce, and the
roasted vegetables were nice.
I’d have this meal again.
