Claim Jumper Meatloaf Copycat

This Claim Jumper Meatloaf tastes just like what they serve at the restaurant. Full of chopped vegetables and bursting with flavor!

This meatloaf is TASTY! I’m not even a huge fan of meatloaf, but this is DELICIOUS! The last time we went to Claim Jumper, my husband got the meatloaf and I got.. I don’t even remember.. all I remember is how good the meatloaf was! He gave me a bite or two of it and I was wishing that I had ordered it too. It had so much flavor! I knew that I needed to go home and combine some recipes to try to duplicate it. I think I got pretty dang close (in fact… I think THIS recipe is even BETTER…)! Adults love it, kids love it…. you just can’t lose.

If you are looking for some side dish ideas… this goes great with our loaded mashed potatoes and sauteed sweet asparagus. It also goes great with our Parmesan potato halves and roasted vegetable medley.

Anyway, here is our take on the Claim Jumper Meatloaf recipe (which is a combination of our family’s recipe and Todd Wilbur’s recipe)… it is actually really easy to make– you are going to love it!
