Easy, Flavorful Microwave Meatloaf
My next-door neighbor shared this recipe with me. I love it on a cold, wintry night along with a baked potato, broccoli, and mixed salad; it tastes great, is easy to make, and cooks really fast. The chili sauce gives it a sweetness you don't expect. My brother loves it! There’s enough for two adults and one sandwich the next day.
