Classic Family Meatloaf - SNickelFritz Style

Classic Family Meatloaf

---

In our family, meatloaf was a suppertime staple. One of my Dad's favourites... 👨‍🍳

It’s an easy, make-ahead meal and the bonus is that you can throw in some baked potatoes to cook at the same time. And it has awesome options for leftovers! (Stay tuned!)

Our version uses Millie’s Chili Sauce both inside the loaf and brushed on top for a classic, gently tangy finish that brings everything together.

Serve simply with extra chili sauce for dipping, lots of butter and salt and pepper on the spuds. a favourite vegetable, and a fresh salad, this is comfort food at its best.
