Affordable Meatloaf Recipe #111370
I adapted a recipe found in a magazine and gave it a budget makeover to make it truly affordable for those of us on a tight budget. Can be served with rice, potatoes or pasta and a salad. Leftover slices make wonderful sandwiches and leftover meatloaf can be frozen and reheated in a microwave for 3 minutes.
I picked this recipe because it had the minimum of ingredients. I particularly liked that the ground beef (could have been turkey) was 'streched' with oats (or cooked rice). The original recipe called for two egg whites but I used one whole egg.
