If you have too much meat loaf left after a meal but not enough for another meal, try this suggestion. Refrigerate overnight, then cut into medium cubes the next morning (won't crumble as easily). Place cubes on cookie sheet and freeze.
Leftover meatloaf can also be used as the meat for a vegetable soup. In my meatloaf I already have chopped onion and tomato soup or vegetable soup. I just break the meatloaf into small chunks and add some cubed potatoes, peas, carrots, corn and leftover homemade spagetti sauce.
I crumble mine, add taco seasoning and tomatoe sauce and make tacos. If there is a lot left, I crumble, add onion, tomatoe sauce, garlic, cumin, chili powder, peppers and make chili; or you can crumble and make a nice meat sauce for spaghetti or ravioli.
After having a meatloaf that didn't get eaten up, "recycle it" as one of my friends say. Cut the meatloaf up into chunks and mix sauteed veggies & with a jar of pasta sauce to serve over spaghetti, ramen noodles or rice.

It makes great and easy sandwiches.....better warm but not bad cold, either.
