Introduction
My roommate & I like spicy food, so we've spiced up an old favorite, meatloaf. We've also tried to make it healthier by using more vegetables, and lower fat meats.

Tips
This is a large recipe and makes 2 loaves; we like lots of leftovers for sandwiches & other meals, plus we freeze one loaf for easy fix meals at a later date. Cut ingredients in half to make just 1 loaf, with 12 servings.
Directions
Serving Size: makes 24 slices, 3" by 1" thick slices
Directions:
1. Saute the tomatoes, onions, & bell peppers in a large skillet, until tender, about 15 min. (volume will decrease by about half). Let cool.
2. In large bowl, combine oats, tomato sauce, & beaten eggs. Let sit to soften the oats.
3. Grease a 9 x 13" pan. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
4. Once the sauteed vegetables have cooled, place beef & turkey in the large bowl and add the vegetables, garlic, and spices.
5. Mix thoroughly (I use my hands, well-washed of course.)
6. Shape 1/2 of the meatloaf mixture into a loaf at each end of your greased pan, leaving a gap inbetween.
7. Cover pan with foil. Bake for 30 min.
8. Remove foil.
9. Spread a coating of topping on loaves (optional). Continue baking 25- 30 min, until browned. Cut loaf to check for doneness.
10. Cool before slicing.
