Meatloaf

Pin It

This is one of my kids favorite meals.  Meatloaf.  Basic, everyday, normal, run-of-the-mill meatloaf.  I have even made it for family birthday meals as requested by Hogan.  It's so easy and don't be afraid to get in there and mix up the meat with your hands.  It mixes up much better with your hands than a spoon.  I like to push the middle down a little bit after I get it all smoothed out once it's in the casserole dish.  Since the edges tend to shrink it comes out a bit more even if the middle is 'dented'.
