Sunday Meatloaf

This is the meat loaf that my paternal grandmother often served for Sunday dinner.

The fun thing about meatloaf is that you can use just about anything that you have in the cupboard, as long as you have the meat and the eggs. I substitute dried potatoes, corn flake crumbs, oatmeal or homemade bread crumbs if that is what I happen to have in the cupboard. For variety, I use various herbs and seasonings to spice it up. Don't be afraid to experiment.
