Comfort food is always popular with families, and meatloaf is no exception. Everyone will enjoy this and ask for seconds. This seems like a simple enough recipe that will have dinner ready with limited effort. For a healthier version of this meatloaf, I would use skim milk, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and unsalted tomato sauce. Serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans, and you have a complete meal.
