Easy Meatloaf Recipes

These easy meatloaf recipes are great for kid friendly dinners. I have several different shapes of mini pans that work great for meat loaf. The kids love them! However you can use normal loaf pans or shape into a loaf and place on a tin foil lined cookie sheet.

Meat loaf is a great make ahead meal. You can make this in the morning and just pop in the oven at dinnertime. Meat loaf also freezes really well. You can add pureed vegetables in your meatloaf easily for more nutrition.

You can also turn any of these recipes into meatballs.

Basic Meatloaf Recipe

2 eggs
1 Cup milk
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
3 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 lb. ground hamburger
Place all ingredients together in bowl and using your hands, combine  together. In a loaf pan, layer a sheet of tin foil with excess over the edges. Form meat into loaves and place in pan on top of tin foil. Fold edges over and wrap again with tin foil if desired. Continue with all meat. Freeze.  When ready place meatloaf from freezer to oven and bake 1 hour -1 1/2 hours.
