Old Fashioned Meatloaf

One of our families favorite meals is Meatloaf with Mac N Cheese or Mashed Potatoes, a green vegetable and a salad. We love the leftovers just as much the next day when we make meatloaf sandwiches. I put Meatloaf on our menu quiet a bite in the fall and winter and sometimes in the summer. I have often times been asked by some of you for my meatloaf recipe. I looked back on my recipe box and I realized that I had never posted the recipe for the meatloaf.
