Italian Style Meatloaf

This is my Mother-In-laws Italian Meatloaf Recipe, and it is great hot or cold! You can vary this recipe by using various different ingredients you have on hand as long as you continue to use the basic recipe. This recipe creates a very moist meatloaf that is delicious on it’s own although I personally love to serve it with a little of my quick tomato sauce as shown in the photo.

Buon Appetito!
