anything but meatloaf
To be honest, as a kid I hated meatloaf. It was always so dry and tasteless. As a Mom with kids to feed I realized that meatloaf was easy and economical, I just had to make it to my taste. So I started adding things. Onion soup mix meant I didn't need to cup up onions, or risk under cooked onions that the kids wouldn't like. Canned stewed tomatoes made the meatloaf nice and moist. Oats was a good stretcher, and prevented it from being fatty. The egg binds it together so it holds shape when cut, and the parmesan cheese sets it off nicely. For just 2 of us now, there's always meatloaf sandwiches
