Freezer-Friendly Mealoaf

Meatloaf can be so incredibly easy to make and is, thankfully, a wonderful dish to prepare and freeze for later.  This recipe is part of a lovely set that my mother-in-law gave me from their family’s archives, and it’s a valued connection to family that live so far away.

Yield: 1 meatloaf in traditional meatloaf pans OR 1.5 loaves in tinfoil meatloaf pans

These pictures are from a doubled recipe to yield 3 loaves to match the fact that meatloaf tins in our area are packaged in 3’s.

Loaf:

  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup dry bread crumbs

  • 1/2 tsp sage (optional)

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
