For those of you who would do anything for lunch (but you won't do that), let me tell you that a classic meatloaf sandwich will be a chart topper. The great thing about meatloaf is that you can freeze it before or after cooking (not during, but two out of three ain't bad), so it's easy to make extra for lunches and keep it for a while. Just heat up a slice with some cheese, on your favourite bread (slice it a bit thin if you're grilling). A little extra of the topping sauce is great for dipping. Serve with crunchy pickles and some salad, but watch it - people might want to take the food right out of your mouth!
