BLUE CHEESE MEATLOAF

My family loves blue cheese - my husband will even eat it right from the container! One night, I was looking for a new way to use ground beef and this is what I came up with. It's now our favorite winter comfort food. We like to serve it with Parmesan Cous Cous.

HEAVENLY MEATLOAF WITH BLUE CHEESE, MUSHROOMS, AND SPINACH

Heavenly Meatloaf with Blue Cheese, Mushrooms, and Spinach image

A slightly different recipe using a combination of ingredients, this meatloaf tastes absolutely divine! Instead of the usual ketchup, tomato paste, and brown sugar, this meatloaf is more of an 'upscale' version of the traditional. Best served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This is my own personal creation! I substitute ground deer meat occasionally instead of beef, only because I have a freezer full, and it's organic!

2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
