This is my mother-in-laws special meatloaf. Easy to make and great for picky eaters (like my wife). Leftovers make great meatloaf sandwiches. I usually double this if for 4 or more. I start cooking for about 45 minutes, and then keep checking the middle for doneness every 15 minutes or so.

Ready in: 1 hour 5 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove, crushed

• 1 pound ground meat
• 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
