My mom was famous for her meatloaf. Everyone loved it and raved about it. She died of breast cancer in 2000. After she passed, I located her personal cookbook filled with handwritten recipes she kept, but I couldn't find any written recipe for her meatloaf. My mom was Swedish and grew up in Minnesota with many Scandinavian recipes. She was also a baker and a wizard with creams, sauces, and gravies. I am still searching for the perfect replica of her recipe. If these ingredients are familiar to you, feel free to share. Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.
