The half of a red pepper added just enough sweetness and let's face it everyone loves garlic so I put in 4 gloves.

In revisiting this classic, we put the meat back in the “loaf” by using ultra-lean ground beef and turkey. With fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs and beer-simmered sweet onions, you'll never notice the missing fat.

The beer -onions added moisture and a gentle flavor. I reduced the thyme, and divided the meat into 4 small loaves. Saved baking time (20 minutes in microwave 70%, then 20 minutes in oven) Yummy!!!





Found this meatloaf to be tasty but overall too heavy and dense for my liking.





Beer-infused onions are genius. I would recommend adding Worcestershire to give it a little more punch. Very tasty, VERY meaty, and a big hit with the men in the house.





Overall, very nice flavor and texture. I thought the thyme dominated too much. Next time, I'll try a different seasoning profile, perhaps just slug of Worcestershire.
