Meat Loaf with Roasted Squash

Cooking during the week can be a challenge, especially if you work all day and come home to some hungry family members.  During the week, I like to cook quick meals that does not require too much effort or require a long clean up.  It's the tale end of winter, (even though it still feels like winter) you can still take advantage of roasting a squash.  It's a great side dish to any meal.  Check it out..

Ingredients (Meatloaf);
2lbs pork, veal and beef ground meat
1 Tbsp Salt
1 tsp pepper fresh ground
1 shallot or small onion, finely chopped
1 egg
4 Tbsp bread crumbs
1 Tbsp rosemary, finely chopped
1 Tbsp thyme (or about 4 sprigs)
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Add all the above ingredients into a bowl, mix, incorporating all the ingredients.

Place the mixture into a loaf pan.  Once the loaf is in the oven, cut the squash in half.

Clean out the seeds from the inside.

Place the squash in a pan, adding a little bit of water to cover the bottom of the pan.

Add 1/2 tsp butter, salt and pepper.  Roast in the oven about an hour with the meatloaf.
