Meatloaf is one of those classic dinners that I grew up on as a kid. My mom, however, didn't make meatloaf like THIS! Many years ago I clipped a recipe out of a newspaper (and I am sorry but have no way to give credit for this deliciousness!) and my husband loves this stuff! It is loaded with vegetables and has a nice amount of 'kick' to it. If you prefer yours to be less spicy just skip the fresh jalapenos. I made this recipe a tad bit lower in fat by using a grass fed beef and Cabot's Sharp Light Cheddar. These are two really easy ways to cut the fat in a recipe without it tasting any different at all. With the cheese all melty and gooey I could not notice one bit that this was low fat cheese! This meatloaf recipe will make 2 loaves but you can freeze one for use at a different time if it is too much for your family. You can make meatloaf sandwiches with the leftovers, which is one of my dad's favorite lunches.

Thanks for trying and using the Cabot Light cheddar - our farm family owners (and all of us here) thank you! And wow, Diane, this looks fabulous! My family is going to LOVE it (I just put it on our plan for tomorrow! It might even be big enough for my huge boys!
