My favorite kind of meatloaf. I made this once because I wanted to use up small amounts of sausage I had in the freezer and it turned out so well and is asked for so often that it became a regular dish at home. Everyone loves the crisp top and the bold flavors of the sausage. Really moist and great as a sandwich.
