I love Meat Loaf. It was one of my favorite meals when I was a child; and still is as an adult.. The day you make it, the Meat Loaf is hot and moist and perfect with mashed potatoes. The next day the meat has chilled and consolidated. It’s perfect between two slices of rye bread slathered with catsup, lettuce and tomato. YUM!
Hint: I always keep one or two pounds of chopped meat in my freezer. I like knowing that I can make a meat sauce, burgers or meatballs on a whim. Chopped meat takes a long time to defrost. Remember to take it out of the freezer early in the morning to give it time to fully defrost by late afternoon.
