Patch Recipes: Meatloaf, the Good Kind

It has a good flavor and it's easy to make.

I have no idea how this has happened, but meatloaf has gained a reputation of being boring. Shame on the person who started that rumor! If you flavor it the right way, meatloaf can be the best meal of the week. As a proud meatloaf fan, I am happy to share this recipe.

The following recipe comes from Leann Pettit, food writer for Plymouth-Whitemarsh Patch in Pennsylvania.
