15-MINUTE MEAT LOAF

15-Minute Meat Loaf image

I combined a few great-tasting meatloaf recipes to create this flavorful 15-minute version, which my husband loves. And because it's made in the microwave, the entree is perfect for busy nights. For an extra boost, I flavor the meatloaf with onion soup mix.-Deb Thompson, Lincoln, Nebraska
