What is your favorite Meatloaf Recipe? There are so many types of meatloaf, so many ways to prepare and cook it. I just started getting into meatloaf this past year. It was never cooked growing up at home and I always shied away from it at gatherings, the cornflakes scared me off! But now I am quite enjoying this loaf of meat thing. It is a super easy meal, provided you have some quick sides.

I love that this was super moist and so flavorful from the three meats, spinach, spices & herbs. You can make the mixture ahead of time and freeze in a throwaway loaf pan and bake at a future time. I don’t have a lot of ideas for meatloaf, how do you usually prepare it? What do you serve it with?
