I'm not gonna lie,
there are some nights when I just do not feel like cooking, but if I don't, we
still get hungry, and end up reaching for snack after nutrition-free,
calorie-laden snack, because nothing satisfies like a good meal. When I
saw this recipe for Coca-Cola Meatloaf with its few ingredients, I was
skeptical. For me, meatloaf is often a lengthy labor of love to prepare because
I like lots of flavor and a complex taste that belies the fact that I am simply
eating ground beef. Already exhausted from a busy and frustrating day,
with a full and, no doubt, stress-filled week ahead, I made it anyway.
What a surprise! It was good, very good. Moist and flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning; we both gobbled it up in nothing flat. I had intended to make up a mustard sauce to serve on the side, but, instead, reached for the beef gravy that I had made last month and popped in the freezer for an occasion such as this.
What a relief to have such a quick and easy meatloaf recipe added to my repertoire. Tonight we'll have it on slices of marble rye, topped with thinly sliced red onion, and a dollop of Dijon. Two meals with minimum effort. I like that!

Preheat oven to 350ยบF.
Mix all ingredients
together; shape into loaf and place in pan (I made mine in a small (not mini)
loaf pan, 8” x 3”). Bake for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to settle in the pan for ten minutes before slicing. I sliced mine while it was still in the pan, making inch-wide slices.

I would have been skeptical had you not reviewed so highly. I see the soda is a minimal amount so that is good. At first glance I worried it would be a large amount.
Nothing like a good meatloaf (or meatlump, as my family calls it)to satisfy a dinnertime hunger.
I can't wait to try this fabulous recipe! Your recipe is awesome, I have pinned it. We really enjoy you sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you again soon!
