Sloppy Joe Meatloaf

     Meatloaf is a great main dish to have when you are trying to save money. Besides, the leftovers are almost better than the first time and can be made into sandwiches for a quick and easy lunch. This recipe takes a personal favorite, sloppy joe, and turns it into a not-so classic meatloaf. So good!
