Italian Meatloaf
Rated 4.1 stars by 42 users
Ordinary ground beef becomes extraordinary comfort food when mixed with mozzarella cheese and a blend of savory vegetables. Pick one of our tomato sauces (we love the roasted garlic) and spoon it over slices of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and buttered green beans.
