Interesting with the goldfish crackers. I will have to try this sometime soon!

This is a great recipe to make with kids. Anyone with ‘picky’ eaters should make this recipe. I came up with this recipe when DD was very young and she said ‘meatloaf again?!!

…Giggle…this was back when ground beef was less expensive than chicken! I decided to shake things up by using the goldfish crackers that she loved instead of breadcrumbs. We would crush the crackers and then she would decide how many ‘whole’ crackers to add and or top the meatloaf.

She never, ever complained about eating meatloaf again and this is the only way that she prepares it today;-D
