This is my Mom’s Meatloaf, it is my favorite food. My number one comfort food, my request for every birthday meal! It is a super easy recipe that is a family favorite!
This is the hands down my favorite meal – it’s comfort, memories and a warm hug all wrapped into one!
Now I don’t bake my meatloaf in a loaf pan I shape it into a loaf and bake it in a 9×13 – I have no valid reason it’s just the way I’ve always known to do it!
My kids asked one time why I don’t make meatloaf in a loaf pan…….I said “My Mom never did!”
So I asked my Mom why she never made meatloaf in a loaf pan…….she said “My Mom never did!”
So she asked her Mom why she never made meatloaf in a loaf pan……..she said “My Mom never did!”
Mom’s Meatloaf
Now I never serve meatloaf without mashed potatoes and gravy because, well, that would be just silly! The gravy is one of my favorite parts and is super simple – a can of Cream of Mushroom, a brown gravy packet and a cup of water!
Serve it up with your favorite vegetable – mine is peas add a big glass of cold milk to drink and it’s always a family favorite!
