My No-Frills (But Yummy) Meatloaf
When I made this a couple of weeks ago I wasn’t sure if I should add it in the blog archives because I know I already have a couple of meatloaf recipes here but then I remembered the one I have is stuffed with cheese, spinach, and mushrooms. That’s definitely NOT a basic meatloaf, HAH! There is another one with barbecue sauce. Now, this meatloaf is quite basic. When Caine asked if there’s a special sauce for it, Scott and I joked that yes there is a special sauce called Ketchup. HAHAHAHA!
That’s about as no-frills meatloaf as you can get but don’t let that fool you because this is actually quite yummy. Even Emma, who is a picky eater, gave it her 2 thumbs up.
