Eryk's Dill Pickle Meatloaf image

When my son Eryk was a little boy, he used to ask me to make this at least once a week. He is now 22 and he still says it's his favorite meat loaf. I usually serve with baked potatoes and a green salad.

  • Choose high-quality ground beef. The better the quality of the beef, the better the meatloaf will taste.

  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan that is no more than 9x5 inches. A larger pan will make the meatloaf too thin.
