This southern meatloaf recipe is the BEST meatloaf recipe ever! It’s flavorful, tender, moist, and delicious…not to mention easy to make! Impress everyone with this southern meatloaf recipe.

Growing up in the South there were two main constants on the dinner entree menu….fried chicken and mom’s meatloaf!

I LOVED meatloaf as a kid and my mom’s is the BEST meatloaf recipe I’ve ever tasted!

There were a few years there where mom got experimental in the kitchen and her meatloaf turned out less than stellar…but she finally listened to my siblings and started making her classic recipe again.

So that I can share the great meatloaf tradition with my family I just HAD to steal her recipe…and now I’m sharing it with you! 🙂

What to Serve with Meatloaf

This is the perfect dish to make with mashed potatoes or one of these amazing mac and cheese recipes. I also love to serve this meatloaf with my Crack Green Beans Recipe or Amazing Air Fryer Frozen Brussels Sprouts!

And this dish heats back up perfectly….so make extra for leftovers!

Hubs always loves having extras to take to work throughout the week. I remember my grandfather used to LOVE making leftover meatloaf sandwiches for his lunch!
