Meatloaf

Meatloaf is the easier alternative to meatballs. You don't have to keep an eye on it, just throw it in the oven and it's done. I use this same basic recipe for meatballs, it's just more time consuming because you have to continuously turn the balls to make sure they're not burning. 
This is delicious, you just have to make sure you're either serving six people, or immediately packing up the extra portions so you don't end up eating it all yourself.
