Comfort food: Meatloaf Subs

My mom gave me this recipe (I think it came out of the rural electric co-op magazine... seriously) and I laughed when I read it. Then she made it. It tastes much better than the recipe would indicate. My people are all about packing a good cooler lunch. (Sometimes you open your lunch box and find a can of pork-n-beans and a boy scout can opener...) So, to me, good comfort food is something that tastes good sitting in a dirt field in the middle of BFE....
