Stovetop Meat Loaves

Some people have no interest what-so-ever in eating or preparing meatloaf. But this happens to be one of our go tos when nothing else is springing to mind. So when I found this quick variation, I was all too eager to give it a try. Both of us were very pleased with this quick cooking, easy assembled, very fulfilling meal! So before you turn your nose up at “meatloaf”, give it a try…you might be just as pleased as we were!
