Tenen Family Meatloaf!

 

 This is our family recipe!! Tenen Family Meatloaf…you’ll notice the addition of ketchup in the mixture and on top….my mom added ketchup to most foods she made!

I love meatloaf and so does my family. It is a simple dish to prepare! I love the ease of this recipe. Just mix the meat mixture up & shape it into a loaf & pop it in the oven. I bake mine until the top is nicely browned & the fat from the meat has cooked out of it. You will see it pools along the bottom sides of the Tenen Family Meatloaf, this is what I wait for before taking the meatloaf out of the oven. Let the meatloaf sit for about 15-20 minutes before cutting into this.

Our fav sides are simple mashed potato and peas but anything goes really well…also canned baked beans are so good with meatloaf!
