Instructions

  • In a skillet, on medium heat, sauté the garlic, onion, carrot and cabbage in a little olive oil or butter, just until vegetables are barely softened and tossed all together. Cool slightly before adding to rest of ingredients.
  • In a large bowl mix all ingredients together. Using an oval or rectangle, at least 2 inch deep baking dish, shape meatloaf into a log shape.
