Meatloaf / Eggplant Bake

I found the best meatloaf recipe. I love meatloaf, but I often forget about it. It's just not a high profile dish and I think it may have some negative connotations associated with it. However, this recipe is pretty healthy (if you use extra lean meat) and very flavorful. You have to bake it for awhile, but the prep time isn't that long and the ingredients are common (i.e. you don't have to buy a lot of exotic extras). Note: I realized too late I didn't have any dried parsley, so I substituted 1 tbsp of McCormick's Italian Seasoning for the parsley and basil and it turned out great.

My side dish was a tomato-eggplant bake. I substituted shredded mozzarella cheese for the slices and shredded parmesan for the grated parmesan, but otherwise I followed the recipe. Very good! Very easy!
