      Thanks for the info…I have always wondered if I could freeze meatloaf. My meatloaf recipe is very similar to this one except I add 1/4 cup chopped onions , use no salt but add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, and use marinara sauce . My family really enjoys it and it will be great to make twice as much next time and freeze half.
