Love Meatloaf with Mac and cheese. I usually stuff my meatloaf with cheese and I was standing there at the stove staring at the mac and cheese and I looked over at my meatloaf mixture and it was like a lightbulb went on in my head!, why not stuff my mac and cheese into the meatloaf? So, I did and boy am I glad I did it. It was so good. Two comfort foods rolled into one sublime masterpiece of flavor!
