(that stands for MasterCook..... ) Didn't take a picture of the quesadilla plated, darn it - it really looked pretty.

Re: Meatloaf Quesadillas - Mare749 - 06-18-2011 Now I want to make a meatloaf just so we have the leftovers! You know, we like meatloaf right out of the oven the first time well enough, but sometimes it's more fun to play with the leftovers. Jean, you came up with a great idea!
