When you think of the term "comfort food," one of the first things that comes to mind if meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Here is one of our family favorite recipes for meatloaf. We served it on Oscar night (comfort food to comfort the losers).

Notes: This recipe is just so good. It's so easy and basic, but it always hits the spot.
You would shape these prettier. But it is an easy recipe and even people who don't normally like meatloaf, like it. It can be halved for two or doubled, triple, etc. for more.
