We got this from a microwave cookbook when we got our first microwave in the 70's. I actually prefer baking it, but either way my family loves it.

This is my go to recipe for meatloaf, as a meal or for sandwiches. Great with creamy mashed potatoes and a green vegetable. Wonderful cold or hot in a sandwich with mayo, and red pepper relish, my fav. Hubs likes it with ketchup, mustard and red pepper relish. No matter how you like it, it will be tasty. This is very much the way...
