Absolutely! I have a juicer and I add the pulp and some of the juice of carrots and apples to mine; as well as some Lipton Onion Soup Mix.

Why I like this recipe for my homemade meatloaf !
Well, everyone pretty much knows that meatloaf tastes great the next day and the next day after that. It's great cold and hot! I don't know too many meat dishes that I can say that about. Well, this particular meatloaf had a nice zesty taste and it was quite moist -- not really needing ketchup.

I'll use 2-3 slices of bread soaked in milk or Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix instead of the bread crumbs.
I've substituted BBQ sauce, and tried chunky spicy salsa for a little zing, in place of the spaghetti or tomato sauce.

- Should never read a delicious looking recipe lens just before dinner. My stomach is growling! I found your tomato sauce ingredient really interesting; I've always used just Ketchup in my meatloaf(s). :)
I once tried a meatloaf recipe that was made the usual way, divided into two parts, put one part in the meatloaf pan, add a layer of stuffing mixed with onions and mushrooms, then top with the second layer of meatloaf and cook. It's delicious, but because the 'stuffing' middle doesn't hold together well (the meatloaf slice falls apart) it isn't conducive for (neat anyway) 'cold meatloaf sandwiches' for lunch (my hubby's favorite!). :)
