This picture just doesn't do this meal justice... it was delicious. While this is a basic recipe, I will sheepishly admit that it was in fact my first time making this dish. So I've included it on Cooking Cadenza should another new chef (like myself) need a recipe (or the nutrition info) for a quick and simple meatloaf.
MOM'S MEATLOAF
Servings: 8
Nutritional Information:
The first time I made this recipe, I used lean (80%) ground beef. And wow was there a TON of grease. The next time I put this meal together for my dad's birthday, I used extra lean (90%) ground beef. Values below reflect the two various fat contents... Sure, the 90% has a little more sodium/cholesterol. But I feel like the additional protein and lack of disgusting dishes to clean up afterwards makes up for it.
