This meatloaf is also great for sandwiches. I like to slice it up and serve it on a bun with some lettuce, tomato, and onion.

I like to top my meatloaf with a layer of mashed potatoes before baking it. It adds a delicious creamy layer to the dish.

This meatloaf is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always add a cup or two of chopped carrots, celery, and onion.
