So you love meatloaf but someone in your family hates all things tomato and it seems like every meatloaf recipe on the planet includes a tomato sauce glaze over the top, or tomato ketchup mixed into the meat, or both. You've tried just leaving them out but the result is a bland, dry, unappealing meatloaf. AmIRight? Well problem solved! The milk and panko crumbs keep the meat moist and juicy and the ranch packet gives it a delicious yet subtle flavor. It's perfect with mashed potatoes & gravy, buttered peas, and a nice hunk of warm bread.
