judy's meatloaf
This is my go to recipe for meatloaf, as a meal or for sandwiches. Great with creamy mashed potatoes and a green vegetable. Wonderful cold or hot in a sandwich with mayo, and red pepper relish, my fav. Hubs likes it with ketchup, mustard and red pepper relish. No matter how you like it, it will be tasty. This is very much the way my mother made her meatloaf. Enjoy!
