Making this for Dinner tonight. Its not the Traditional meatloaf. You know the one I'm talking about, the all beef, lightly seasoned with the ketchup top? Naaaah, Its better. Its MUCH Better! It has all my dads favorite ingredients. A gooey Mozzarella center with Buttery sweet Caramelized onions. Its delicious! and a good twist to the traditional meatloaf. Hope you all enjoy!
