Meatloaf is a staple in our house. We always have the ingredients lying around: I keep ground beef in the fridge to make quick dinners like pasta or tacos; there’s a big bowl of onions in our pantry, our chickens lay plenty of eggs, and I grow herbs in my garden. On Sundays, when I’m planning for the week ahead, I’ll often make meatloaf, because I know the kids will be happy to eat it for dinner, and we can use the leftovers for days—Austin especially likes it for sandwiches.
