For National Comfort Food Day, hearty meals like chicken pot pie, warm soups, and meatloaf come to mind.
So, I opened up “Fifty Years of Fabulous Family Favorites,” the “Brunch, Lunch & Entrees” edition in the 3-volume set for this recipe from 2004.
Super Simple Marvelous Meatloaf
1 c herb-seasoned stuffing mix (small crumb style, not cubes), mixed with 1 c hot water & 1 T butter
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
2 lbs ground beef, mixed with 2 lg or x-lg beaten eggs
1 c favorite BBQ sauce or catsup or combo
Blend beef mixture with stuffing, soup mix, and half the sauce. Press into a loaf pan. Spread remaining sauce on top. Bake 1 hr at 350°F. (This is even better if you make it the night before and let it rest, covered, in the fridge.
