Hi, I love meatloaf, but it always seems to be a pain in the butt to cook and make. After many years of cooking this stuff up, having it fall apart on me, spending hours trying to get through the recipe…I decided that it was time for something different. So I came up with this recipe.
This meatloaf recipe is easy to make, and comes out moist on the inside while nice and crispy on the outside.
