Awesome! I'll be making this one for sure next month, when the zucchini bombs start flying.

for the record - i usually use a lot more zucchini than the one cup my mom's recipe calls for

add more bread crumbs, or drain the pan while baking

Sounds delicious! I love putting veggies into my meatloaf - it gives my family and friends more vitamins and minerals along with keeping that loaf MOIST.

I usually also add celery, carrots, onions, and mushrooms all pulsed a few times in the food processor before mixing with the meat mixture. That way no one sees the chunks,

With all the zucchini happening around these parts I will be sure to try this one. Thank you!
