If you’ve had trouble getting your family to rally ’round your meatloaf dinners lately, could be because they’re dry and lifeless.  How would you like to serve a nice, moist meatloaf for a change?  Cabbage is the secret to your success!  I prefer using the “tri-color” coleslaw mix, actually, rather than shredding my own in this case, but either way it’s very good.

1 lb. ground, lean turkey or beef
6 Tablespoons bread crumbs
1 ½ C. shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
¼ C. finely chopped onion
¼ c. finely chopped bell pepper
¼ teaspoon dried, minced garlic
2/3 C. ketchup
Butter flavored cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9 x 5 inch pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine meat, breadcrumbs, coleslaw mix, onion, pepper, garlic, and one-half of ketchup. Mix well. Pat mixture into pan and bake for 45 minutes. Spread remaining ketchup on top of loaf and bake 15 minutes longer. (Serves 6)
