I gotta tell ya, my family loves this meatloaf, although I've decided it's our cursed meal. Once I made it ahead of time didn't take it out of the fridge early enough-my pan shattered (I was pregnant which made it even more dramatic). Then just last week I made it and got distracted talking to my brother on the phone and then helping Hayli make some stickers that I boiled the water right out of the mashed potatoes that were the side dish.. struggle
