Jump to recipe Sign in to saveAbout 2 hrs 30 minsMeal Prep MealsThe Comfort Kitchen Series

Other than our Mini Lasagnas, one of our favorite dishes to meal prep is meatloaf. It’s easy to make, freezes well, and honestly, one pan can feed two people. We like to pair it with quick sides like instant potatoes, rice, or canned vegetables for an easy weeknight meal. Savory, comforting, and topped with a sweet ketchup glaze, this meatloaf can be made with either ground turkey or ground beef.

We encourage you to read the entire recipe before starting to ensure you’re using the proper equipment.

We love an easy weeknight dinner, and it doesn’t get much better than pasta. When we spotted fusilloni noodles at our local grocery store, we knew we had to try them. The first dish that came to mind was classic baked ziti, so we decided to switch things up and use these noodles instead. The
