  Oh, that sucks.

  On a side note, someone posted the other day that beets come out the same color. So don't be alarmed.

  I wouldn't think so. Is it just chopped up in there or is it kind of mashed? I would think you could tell by touching it if it is done. just cut down the middle and poke with your finger.

  It's pureed.  19 minutes left, and the meatloaf is still, er, fluorescent pink.  Smells good though.

  Can you share your recipe?  I have a bunch of beets to use and I'm not really motivated to search for recipes.

  It's not much of a recipe.  I made it up as I went.  Here's what I think is in there:

  1 lb of hamburger

  3/4 of a bag of the Morningstar Farms grillers stuff

  a splash of milk

  1 cup of Pepperidge Farms stuffing mix

  1/4-1/2 cup of pureed beets (they were left over from making pink pancakes--a Deceptively Delicious recipe that's awesome)

  1 McCormick meatloaf seasoning packet

  2 large eggs

  I'm cooking it for 60 minutes at 375 degrees.  That's what usually works for us.  It is now very red instead of pink, so I think it's getting close to being done.

  I don't know if it'll taste good or not.  It's an experiment!
