Best Brandis Kid Friendly Meat Loaf Recipes
KID FRIENDLY MEATLOAF
As a kid, I loved my Grandma's meatloaf but quickly learned that not all meatloaf is created the same - others were dry, musty smelling, or had large pieces of things I didn't like (onions or peppers for instance). I started with my Grandma's recipe and tweaked it with my kids giving reviews. I learned that musty smell was from too much sage so be careful with that. The real secrets here though are the shape and size - cake shaped rather than loaf shaped allows the center to cook without overcooking or drying the outer area; and, mincing the onions so they are not so visible after cooking (a good trick for all recipes when dealing with kids). Feel free to add your own spicing touches - so long as you keep the shape and the ketchup glaze this recipe is guaranteed to stay moist and never need a sauce!

KIDS FAVORITE MEATLOAF
Bored of 'plain old meatloaf'? We tried a recipe with a twist. All you need is some smaller pans in the shapes of characters, or whatever. The kids love the shapes and rave about the taste!!! Mine like to use Winnie the Pooh. Be creative and have fun.

KID FRIENDLY MEATLOAF WITH NO ONIONS
My nephew won't eat anything with onions (or any other veggies) in it, so I had to create something new, fast, and that he would be familiar with. I came up with this. Now, everytime I baby sit for him, we make it together. There is onion powder in this meatloaf, but don't tell my nephew!!

KIDS LOVE THIS MEATLOAF
This is the meatloaf that my mother made. It is the only meatloaf I have ever liked. This recipe is so popular with my family that I always have to make two of them, and we still on't ever have any leftovers. If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers, this makes a delicious sandwich filling.
