Family Favorite Meatloaf

Family Favorite Meatloaf

Today, I’m bringing over one of my all-time favorite comfort foods…meatloaf. As a kid, I detested this dish. In fact, I hated it so much that my mom would make me a separate hamburger to enjoy while everyone else gobbled up her meatloaf. I don’t know if my taste buds matured or if this recipe is REALLY just that good, but I tried this recipe about 6 years ago and have never looked back.

I got this recipe from a high school friend and the hubs (Eric) and I liked it so much, it became our go-to dish to make for company. In fact, our friends have even titled it, “Eric’s Meatloaf.” The sauce is delicious and the melted cheese inside combined with the pepper and onion make for a dynamite combination. I hope you and your family will enjoy it soon!
