This juicy meatloaf gets extra softness from butternut and a savory finish from bacon and sage.

Why add butternut to meatloaf?

Butternut makes meatloaf juicier and softer, especially when baked with bacon and sage. The sweet vegetable balances the savoury flavours. Let the meatloaf rest briefly before slicing for the best texture.
