- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk (any type, even dairy-free alternatives)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh such as carrots, peas, and corn)

Feel free to toss in whatever vegetables your family loves, or use what you have on hand. This recipe is all about making it work for you.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined. Over-mixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, forming an even layer.
- Spread the mixed vegetables over the meat layer. This is where you can let the kids help out, just like I let mine—it’s messy and fun!
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables, ensuring even coverage.
- In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Spread this mixture over the top, adding a tangy sweet finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
