I have been using this recipe for years (well I guess sinch it first came out). I usually cut in half because there is only two of us. For a change use bbq sauce instead of ketchup! Yummy! I also add peppers and mushrooms! The Urban Peasant really had the best calendars!!

I have always served the garlic mashed potatoes with this meatloaf. Absolutely delicious!
