Masterful Meatloaf

This is a rather simple, yet satisfying dish that is full of calories and very filling. Since I have cystic fibrosis, I try to cook something tasty that is also healthy and has a lot of protein. It can also be frozen, defrosted and reheated when I am not up to cooking. It also lasts a long time in the fridge and my husband, who does not have cystic fibrosis, seems to like it for lunch as a sandwich on bread with mayo.
