Many are used to savoring their leftover meatloaf as a sandwich. This time, add a new level of class to your comfort food by topping meatloaf with a Caprese/Bruschetta topping. There's a reason the combination of the fresh bold flavors of Mozzarella cheese, Basil and tomatoes has become one of the most popular menu items in Continental as well as Italian restaurants.
