Classic Meatloaf

As much as I enjoy trying new foods and new recipes, I love the nostalgia of traditional meals, especially those I grew up eating. Meatloaf is one of my favorites. It’s delicious right out of the oven but, in my opinion, even better the next day in a sandwich with cheese, mayo, and sliced onion. This recipe is a pretty classic meatloaf recipe — ground beef, onion, egg, bread, and topped with a ketchup-y glaze — but with some Worcestershire sauce and dried herbs for a little more flavor.
