I like making an easy meatloaf recipe because it’s a delicious and comforting meal that’s also easy to prepare. It’s a great option for a weeknight dinner, and it’s also a great recipe to make ahead of time and freeze for later.

Here are some of the things I like about making an easy meatloaf recipe:

• It’s a versatile recipe that can be customized to your liking. You can add different vegetables, herbs, and spices to the meatloaf mixture, and you can also use different types of ground meat, such as ground pork, ground turkey, or a mixture of both.
• It’s a relatively inexpensive recipe to make. The main ingredients in meatloaf are ground meat, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, and seasonings. These are all ingredients that are typically on hand in most kitchens.
• It’s a relatively easy recipe to make. Once you’ve combined all of the ingredients, simply form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and bake it in the oven. There’s no need to brown the meat or sauté any vegetables.
• It’s a freezer-friendly recipe. Once the meatloaf is cooked and cooled, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil and freeze it for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply let the meatloaf sit in the refrigerator overnight.

You can also make an easy meatloaf recipe in a slow cooker. Simply combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meatloaf is cooked through.

For this recipe preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, lamb, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients well.

Next grease a 9 x5 inch loaf pan for baking dish. I like to use my oil dispenser and spray the pan with oil. Form the mixture into a loaf shape.

In a small bowl, combine barbeque sauce, ketchup, tomato paste, mustard, salt and pepper. Brush the mixture over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
