Best Hawaiian Meatloaf

This recipe as written is pretty high in fat and carbs. You can make it as is, or you can try my healthier version. If you compare the two (or have read any of my past recipes), you'll see that I've about doubled the recipe and that I usually cook in large batches. Read more I do this for a couple of reasons: 1) I eat six meals a day for my fitness goals. This helps me keep variety in my diet and allows high quality food to be available when I need it over the course of a few days. This recipe would feed me for ten meals. 2) I have five kids. If they happen to like what I make, that's a lot of mouths to feed! See less
