Recipe Description

My Easy Meatloaf really couldn’t be easier, see for yourself! I have a secret to admit. I used to hate meatloaf when I was little! Really, I couldn’t stand it for most of middle school and high school. But I soon realized that it wasn’t the meatloaf’s fault at all, it was the questionable cookery behind it!

School dinners have a lot to answer for. The first time I tried a proper homemade one, my aversion went out the window. And the moment I started making it for myself, I really grew to love it! Especially when it’s as meaty, flavorsome, sweet and spicy as this version I’m sharing with you today! Brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard add heat and sweetness and the whole thing takes just 10 minutes to prepare, so simple!

To make Easy Meatloaf, you will need the following ingredients:
