Meatloaf is comfort food and a favorite in most families. If dinner needs to be ready quickly, this recipe is for you since cooking time is only 45 minutes, instead of more than an hour with most meatloaves. When making this, I would use lean ground beef, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, and low sodium V8 juice. Serve this main dish with mashed potatoes and green beans, and you have a complete meal.
