Every cook should have a great meatloaf recipe (or two, or three, or more) in their recipe box. It’s just such a classic meal that almost everyone loves. It ranks up there in my top 3 favorite dinners, but of course it must be served with mashed potatoes and peas. Comfort food at its best.
This recipe is a great classic recipe. There isn’t anything “different” to it – it’s just a tasty loaf of meat!
Sometimes I make this recipe below, sometimes I do Meatloaf Supreme which uses dry onion soup mix, sometimes I go with Barbecue Turkey Meatloaf if I’m feeling liking living on the wild side, and sometimes I switch it up even more and make mini meatloaves in muffin tins! Any one you choose – you can’t go wrong!!
