This post for my favorite everyday meatloaf recipe is easy and feeds a crowd. It makes great leftovers so you can send some home with your family.
Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite recipes that I make for my family on a regular basis. It's my meatloaf recipe that I originally found in one of those fundraising school cookbooks, where everyone shares their favorite recipes. Like most recipes, especially those that you make often, I've changed it to meet our specific taste preferences, and in some cases, just to make the process simple and easy.
Favorite Everyday Meatloaf Recipe
This recipe makes quite a large meatloaf which I like because I think meatloaf is one of those items that is great leftover. And, you can easily double this recipe. Make it in two pans if you want or make two loaves side by side in one pan. You can substitute barbecue sauce for the ketchup and real horseradish for the horseradish sauce. Change up the veggies too if you like. Try zucchini and carrots or add a little diced garlic.
I like to serve this with mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans.
I hope that you enjoy this my favorite meatloaf recipe, and maybe someday soon, you will be calling your version of it, your favorite everyday meatloaf recipe.
