If you’ve made my meatloaf recipe and enjoyed it then you’re going to LOVE this one! It’s similar to my everyday recipe but with a seasonal twist. This is a perfect swap for a Thanksgiving Turkey if you’re not feeding a huge crowd and/or just want the holiday flavors without the time/mess on a weeknight. My homemade three ingredient cranberry sauce is the perfect topping that adds a balance of tartness but also makes this meal visually stunning!
And might I suggest these sides to go along with it:
