I love comfort food. I also love recipes that are quick and homemade. It’s no secret that I make meatloaf quite often because it is simple, easy, and I can make it in less than 30 minutes. What makes this meatloaf recipe unique is I use the microwave to make it. As with many people, my microwave is primarily used for warming up foods.

But not with this meatloaf recipe.

How To Make Meatloaf

We have a freezer full of meat. Since we are pig farmers, we have two freezers of pork (yes, lots of bacon!) and one freezer with beef. We have friends and family that raise cattle so periodically we buy a quarter share so we can have beef in our freezer. Depending on how many people I am expecting at mealtime, the size of the hamburger package will vary. For this recipe, I am using about 1 1/2 pounds.

Don't get me wrong, if I didn't have ground beef in my freezer, I would NOT think twice about buying from my local grocery store's meat counter. It's all great!
