#11 Lasagna Stuffed Meatloaf, 2/5/19

Yes, you read that right. Lasagna Stuffed Meatloaf

The boys sent me this to attempt to make for them - so for Q's birthday I attempted. I of course had to make one for us as a tester ;) 

We liked it, they liked it.  They liked it so much they requested more when they were home on Spring Break. For them I make them up but then freeze them raw for them to cook at a later date.
