Healthy, because
Beef is particularly rich in high-quality iron, which is needed for blood formation and oxygen transport. The roast meat also provides protein, which can be used well by the body as a building material.
Even smarter
You still lack a little pep in your meatloaf? No problem, with some red peppers or even pepperoni you get more colour in your roast.
