My whole family, kids and all, enjoyed this meatloaf. So, if you have picky eaters, I suggest this delicious and easy ultimate loaded meatloaf recipe!

Popular Questions About Meatloaf
*Where did meatloaf originate from? Meatloaf was mentioned in the Roman cookery collection Apicius as early as the 5th century. Meatloaf is a traditional German, Scandinavian and Belgian dish, and it is a cousin to the Dutch meatball.
*Can meatloaf be frozen? Yes it can! I have done this before if I make extra or have leftovers. Simply put it in a freezer bag and toss it in the freezer. I use my Food Saver machine to get all the air out and it will save much longer in the freezer that way.
*Can meatloaf be pink? No, it shouldn’t be. If it is still pink in the center, I would slice it open and put it back in the oven for about 10 minutes. You can also slice it and put it back in the oven or microwave it.
*Can meatloaf sit out overnight? No. I don’t recommend eating any meat that has been left out over night.
*Can meatloaf be made ahead of time? Yes! I have done this before on many occasions! I make it the night before and just stick it in the fridge until the next day when I cook it.
