Meatloaf With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (Edit recipe)

Growing up I always drowned my meatloaf with ketchup because it was so dry! Sound familiar? This easy meatloaf is turned up a notch with a roasted red pepper & tomato sauce. The winner is the ooey gooey head of roasted garlic! You can make this moist & delicious recipe with lean ground beef or turkey. The trick is to soak your breadcrumbs for 5 minutes in milk before adding the rest of your ingredients. To round out this dinner, I made a one pan roasted gourmet potatoes with asparagus. Yum!
