Meatloaf

Note: This article may contain commentary or the author's opinion.

Here is a classic dish that everyone should know how to make.  It is a cheap and easy dinner that is very filling.  It’s perfect for a tight budget family, which, unfortunately, is most Americans during this year of mandates.  But on a brighter note, this recipe is also delicious!  Who said cheap food couldn’t taste good?  Not this lady.  I’m all about cheap and easy.  Take a look at this recipe and let me know how you like it.  I plan on making it again real soon.  This will be a staple in my recipe box.
