Cheeseburger Meat Loaf

This has become one of our keeper recipes lately. I have been building up our recipe bank because I want to be super organized like this girl and keep a binder with 30 meals in it that we use consistently! Because dinner time at our house is pretty crazy! 

We had this for dinner and I think one of the reasons I like it so much is because EVERYONE eats it...very rare. We don't make special meals for our kids so if they don't like it, they don't eat :) Sounds mean, huh. Not really, they usually give in and eat something on their plate. But the two bigs eat this with smiles and tonight J told me, "More Meat Please, Lub Meat Mommy" We have also frozen the leftovers-yummy. And if you are not a meatloaf fan, you should try this. It is really good!
