Meatloaf in a Minute
This is a quick version of meatloaf I made when I didn't have a lot of time and used what I had on hand. Because it's so easy, it has become my go-to recipe for a week-night, no-frills meatloaf.
Minus the chopping, it will take you all of a minute to put this meatloaf together and one hour to cook. I was charged with putting together a dinner very quickly and used what I had on hand. To be sure, this isn't my signature meatloaf recipe but it was delicious nonetheless and I wanted to be sure I could replicate it. Sometimes, the simpler, the better.
