Sunday Meatloaf

1/2 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 large carrot
1/2 bell pepper (red, orange, green or yellow)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 T. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
dash parsley
2 eggs, beaten

Chop onion, garlic, carrot and pepper into small pieces. In a large mixing bowl, mix chopped vegetables with ground beef and oats. In a separate bowl, combine tomato sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, parsley and eggs. Stir into beef mixture and press into loaf pan. Squeeze ketchup or BBQ sauce over the top of the loaf in a zig-zag pattern.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until fully cooked.

Banana's Notes
Sometimes I substitute an equivalent amount of ketchup for the tomato sauce and vinegar.
