LEFTOVER MEATLOAF PASTA



Leftover Meatloaf Pasta image

Since there are only two of us in the house, whenever I make something like meatloaf we have at least half of it leftover and usually don't eat it. I came up with this solution using things I had on hand to try and make it a little more interesting and appetizing the next day.
