Bean and Meat Loaf

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 70 min. YIELD: 12 servings.
When I make meat loaf, I usually just mix together whatever I have on hand. One time I added leftover kidney beans I had in the fridge, and my family loved the meat loaf's soft texture. Now it's our favorite. —Patricia Zwerk of Tucson, Arizona
