My boyfriend, mom, and I really liked this meatloaf recipe. I only used 1 cup shredded zucchini. I also substitued crushed seasoned Triscuits for the breadcrumbs as I didn't have any in the pantry. I will use more of the dry ingredient next time - I think it needed more binding. It made really great mini meatloaves. I freeze the leftovers for dinner another week.
