Meatloaf Recipe — https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/16354/easy-meatloaf/
With this meatloaf recipe, I used 1lb of ground pork and 1lb of ground beef. I also used GF breadcrumbs instead of regular. My kids loved it and even ate the leftovers.
For the twice baked potatoes, I baked potatoes. Then I pulled out the middle leaving the “shell”. I mixed the potato innards with bacon, cheese, green onion, some milk and butter and put it back in the oven to melt the cheese. DELISH! I also had to improvise with milk and butter because I normally would have used sour cream for the potatoes.

I followed this recipe to the T and it was FAB!
Enjoy!!!
