mama cindy's super simple meatloaf
(1 rating)
Thirty years ago, when my husband and I were first married, a traveling salesman came to our door, selling encyclopedias. With our purchase, we received a giant cookbook with hundreds of all-American and international recipes. Even with its broken binding and stained pages, we still refer to the old cookbook today! Although my meatloaf recipe has morphed just slightly from the book's version, I still use the original key ingredients to give it a sweet and savory flair -- sweet pickle juice and brown sugar. This is a super simple recipe, and it makes for great comfort food. Enjoy!
