With mashed potatoes, corn and a little gravy, they make individual shepherds pies, so clever!
I also love to have fun with meatloaf for the kids and make various shapes.

Change it up!
This basic recipe for meatloaf is so versatile.
You can change it up if you are not a beef eater with ground turkey or chicken.
My only suggestions when using poultry is to add more spices, herbs and favorite condiments.
I also add some garlic flavored olive oil to the ground turkey for extra flavor.
Either way you make this basic comfort food, this meatloaf is easy to make and it's such a fun easy meal for dinner!
