This is the meatloaf I grew up with… enhanced only slightly. Of course, my mother was a working woman and “bake” our meatloaf in a microwavable Bundt pan, cooking it in half the time.
If you feel like trying a little batch cooking, make two of these: one for the oven and one for the freezer.
For the one you freeze, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
