Mom's Meat Loaf for 2

By

If you're looking for a hearty meal, just follow Michelle Beran's lead. The Claflin, Kansas cook whips up this delicious loaf when she's looking for a downsized main course. You'll love the pleasant sage flavor and scrumptious sauce. Plus, it's easy to double for sandwiches the next day.

MY NOTES: Yum! I really enjoy these a lot! Doubled the recipe with a full pound of ground beef and I had two nights worth of meals for Jack and me.
