mom's meatloaf

My Mom made this frequently when I was growing up. When I moved north for college I rang her up for the recipe. It was full of hand fulls of this, a couple of glugs of that, and "until it looks right." I did my best to measure the ingredients. I find I go by my nose or until it smells right. LOL, my Mom would be proud!
