Easy meatloaf
I always need new everyday dishes that are easy to make and delicious to eat. This dish totally lives up to my wish. Meatloaf is always a favorite in most households because it’s excellent comfort food and economical. You can make it with what you have in the fridge or the kitchen drawer, making it super-anti-food waste food..jpg)
You can serve Meatloaf with mashed potatoes, oven-roasted potatoes, veggies, or warm white rice.
Can you freeze Meatloaf?
Yes! You can make Meatloaf ahead and freeze it BEFORE cooking. Once the meatloaf mixture has been shaped in your pan or loaf pan, cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and foil and freeze. Defrost raw frozen Meatloaf in the fridge overnight before baking in the oven. Or you can also freeze it AFTER cooking. When cooked, cool completely and freeze in individual slices wrapped in parchment or baking paper to keep them juicy. Place all pieces in an airtight container or freezer bag, and reheat slices as needed.

There are also many different variations of this classic; probably every culture has its own twist. For example, you can try my Meatloaf with the glaze – juicy and flavourful on the inside, with a caramelized glaze outside.
