Mama's Tasty Meatloaf w/

Meatloaf... it's a comfort food for sure. I haven't really had a "recipe" per say. I just made it. My son and youngest daughter request meatloaf at least every other week, especially through the fall & winter months. They call it "meat with red gravy." It can be made in the oven or crock pot. Either way, it always comes out so...
