Italian Style Meatloaf

Meatloaf

VERY COMFORTING

Meatloaf has always been a shining example of traditional home cooking. Always referred to as comfort food which brings back great memories from childhood, meatloaf defines family living.

This recipe blends ground beef and pork with fresh herbs and tomatoes to make a marvelous dinner. You could serve this dish with roasted white potatoes or my special garlic mashed. A little steamed string beans, cauliflower or broccoli on the side and your all set to cuddle up next to this dish and eat.

Though the roasted potatoes are delicious, I prefer the garlic mashed with this dish. I usually make roast potatoes when I’m in a hurry. I think the only reason I make this dish is for the cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day, if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers.
