Meatloaf With Roasted Vegetables And Cheese Sauce Your Perfect Christmas Treat!

I must confess, this recipe looks pretty intimidating to the eyes. The long list of ingredients doesn’t give much courage either. However, you will be surprised how simple it is when you actually start to work it out. As long as you have the ingredients and an oven, the rest is pretty simple. And once you are done, you will taste the most delicious meatloaf you have ever cooked and give yourself a pat on the cheek. The roasted vegetables also give it a good visual appeal.

If you have a food processor or a good hand blender, you can make your own fresh breadcrumbs by simply whirling bread in the machine.

Meanwhile, this meatloaf will be on the menu for the Fine Dining Event I am hosting today at Serene Suites, Kampala. Come prepared for a six-course meal with endless drinks. Party starts at 3:00pm.
