It's been a rough, long work week. (We don't know about that at the Home Chef test kitchen, but we've heard rumors that work weeks can be rough!) Projects pile up, co-workers get on the nerves, coffee's stale, and the copy machine broke down one copy in. We're not suggesting you should eat your stress, but we are saying these hearty meatloaves doused in BBQ, with cheesy mashed potatoes on the side, are the perfect antidote to the weekly grind. (And there are fresh green beans on the side, just in case you have a hint of guilt about eating healthy.)
