I’m on a quest to find out what percentage of the population likes meatloaf. If I just take my family growing up as a sample, I think we were 1 for 6, so I was sure the rest of the world felt the same! Turns out, we were an anomaly. When my husband came home last week and saw I had made meatloaf for dinner, I think he fell over backwards in disbelief. If there was one thing he thought he’d NEVER see on his plate, it was a scrumptious slice of meatloaf with a side of roasted potatoes!

A good friend bought me the Magnolia Table cookbook for my birthday and this meatloaf was the first recipe I chose to make out of it. As far as I can tell, it’s a pretty classic meatloaf with a couple of tasty additions.

She (Joanna), uses saltines for the binding, but I used some ultra buttery ritz like crackers we had on hand along with some buttery sauteéd onions. Never too much butter around here!

If you want to make red potatoes at the same time as your meatloaf, you can throw them into the pressure cooker (whole) along with the meatloaf and then mash them or eat them as they are. I think you’re going to love adding this simple recipe to your weekly dinner rotation!
