I had never made or really eaten meatloaf until my husband and I got together. He is a real meat and potatoes man so I decided to find a recipe that would please him as well as satisfy my need for something a bit more healthy! I tweaked a recipe a few times and came up with this one; it has become a staple on our growing family's dinner table!
