Cheesy Layered Meatloaf
"My mom used to make this dish and it was always a big hit. Now it's a big hit in my house too! Also, it's still super yummy and much healthier if you sub the ground beef for ground turkey, just remember to add lots of Italian seasoning to the turkey and sauce so it's still super flavorful! Enjoy!"

This is very tasty meal. More like a cassrole than a meatloaf. The next time I make it I would pre-cook the potatoes as they did not get done even after 1 1/2 hours

I am a full-time mom and wife, and business owner. I have three boys, ages 14, 9, and 3 who love food almost as much as I do! We recently went KETO in our house, so I've had to adapt many of My favorite recipes posted here, but love this way of eating! I'm down nearly 40 lbs. in 7 months! My husband and I have been married for 10 years and I've really enjoyed becoming domesticated, well, as far as the cooking goes anyway! :) The cleaning... not so much!
