Mega Meatloaf

**GUEST ENTREE ENTRY**
Mega Meatloaf - my own concoction

So when I traditionally think of meatloaf, I don't have nice thoughts associated with it & cringe at the use of ketchup on dried out meat... GROSS!

This is the second time I have tried making meatloaf with my spin on it and both times have been a great success!  It's only taken me a few months to finally blog it though.

Ingredients
1 huge mixing bowl
1lb hot ground sausage
1lb lean ground beef
1 packet of McCormick Meatloaf Seasoning
1/4c Progresso Italian breadcrumbs
1/2c 2% milk
2 eggs
2 raw russet potatoes peeled and shredded
2c shredded carrots
1 medium yellow onion diced
1 oven safe baking bag

Roll up your sleeves and blend the two meats together.  Add the seasoning, breadcrumbs, milk, and eggs.  Add in shredded potatoes, carrots, and onion.  Keep mixing with your hands until it is fairly uniform.  It is going to be an extremely large loaf.  Transfer the meat/vegetable mixture into an oven safe baking bag.  Mold into the shape of a loaf.  Place in a Pyrex dish, loaf pan (if you can find one for this monster), or baking sheet.  Bake at 375F for 1 hour.  Enjoy!

Verdict:  It is probably the most delicious meatloaf I have ever had!  The hot sausage adds a nice kick to it & by baking it in a bag, it retains all of the moisture.  Oh and not to mention... it contains a starch & 2 vegetables inside of the loaf too, so it is a complete meal by itself!  Brian did insist on green beans; which went well with this too.
