cd :: Recipes :: Meat Loaf with BBQ Sauce

Kind of retro, but since it has BBQ sauce it's a different taste than most meatloaf. Goes great with baked or mashed potatoes and salad. This also freezes, and it's a nice dish when you feel like baking instead of standing over a stove. Also, easy for toddlers to eat.
