I never liked meatloaf growing up. As a matter of fact I didn't like meatloaf until I tried my husband's grandmother's. I don't know what she put in it, but I remember it was awesome. After experimenting I have finally come up with my own version and it was such a huge hit with my family I decided to share it. Hope you enjoy!
