our family's favorite meat loaf
This is the good ol' meat loaf I grew up with. I didn't think there was any other kind for years. I tweaked the recipe recently and substituted Panko bread crumbs for the oats and added a chopped green pepper. It's easy and it's GOOD! I believe my mother often served it with baked beans on the side. I prefer a side of macaroni and cheese.
