Meatloaf is a classic on so many levels. Who doesn’t like meatloaf? I mean, there’s an American Singer/Actor named Meatloaf!! Y’all heard of him? There are so many other references to meatloaf, like the Will Ferrell gif below. It’s one of our favorites and a classic too! This is a quick and easy recipe, just a little prep, mixing and settling in waiting. And the leftovers are amazing! Pair with another classic, mashed potatoes and a green salad. A fun twist is to fill cupcake tins and make meatloaf cupcakes! Top with mashed potates, like frosting, for something the kids will love.
