hearty meatloaf
Including my late hubby, we usually had several strapping lads at our table who loved to eat (seriously, they were like locusts, and I had the grocery bills to prove it). It's a large loaf and occasionally we even had leftovers! It's pretty basic, but feel free to spice it up according to your family's taste.

Meatloaf is an easy dinner and this one is indeed hearty. We weren't sure what type of sausage to use so we went with a mild breakfast sausage. You could add a hot or Italian sausage for even more flavor. What makes this meatloaf special is the glaze. It's not too sweet and has a wonderful kick of spice.
