Meatloaf has always been a favorite of mine, my mom prepared it often when I was growing up. It's an easy meal that can look fancy on your table on special occasions or it can be prepared as a casual every day meal for your family. One of the things I love about meatloaf is that it makes perfect leftovers, and one of our favorites is thick meatloaf sandwiches on Texas toast (thick bread slices) which are very easy to make. This meatloaf freezes beautifully and it's always ready to go. Whether you top it with my delicious Ketchup sauce or with homemade gravy, you won't go wrong. I hope you give it a try. ❤️
