My thoughts: I know everyone has a recipe for "Mom's Meatloaf" but this one surpasses them all. It's my Dad's favorite meatloaf and when he is eating the meatloaf he's already thinking about the cold meatloaf sandwich for tomorrow's lunch!

Serve it with: Grandma's Scalloped Potatoes, steamed asparagus, cooked carrots.
