Meat loaf is a perfect option to make in a skillet or in a Dutch oven. It is a hearty yet economic meal option.

To manage the excess fat in the ground beef the meatloaf is placed on a trivet or wire rack to allow it to render out.

Serve with fresh cooked vegetables, mashed potato and fresh bread to make it a complete meal.
