I finally have a very easy meatloaf recipe. The prep time for this is only ten minutes and bake time is an hour. This recipe serves four people. I basically chopped a couple veggies, mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl, shaped it into a pan and placed it in the oven. A quick hour went by and the meatloaf was done! It was delicious. The sauce topping is a must. Quoted from my boyfriend, “This is the best meatloaf I have ever had!” I took it to heart and agreed. I sprinkled some ketchup on the meatloaf and it tasted great. It is not necessary, I am just a ketchup fanatic. My taste-buds are definitely looking forward until the next time I make this dish!
