DAD'S FAVORITE MEAT LOAF

Every one here has a meat loaf recipe and this one is mine. My Dad requested this often and usually for his birthday dinner. He liked a baked potato with it and in the picture is a twice baked potato. I love green peppers, but not in meat loaf, to me it changes the flavor of the whole meat loaf so much that I don't like it at...

OUR FAMILY'S FAVORITE MEAT LOAF



OUR FAMILY'S FAVORITE MEAT LOAF image

This is the good ol' meat loaf I grew up with. I didn't think there was any other kind for years. I was kind of shocked when my mother admitted that she got the recipe from the Quaker Oats box. But who cares? It's easy and it's GOOD! I believe she often served it with baked beans on the side.
