For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture while cooking. Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand. Diced carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms would work well. To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, you can place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven during baking. Leftover meatloaf can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
