MEATLOAF (COMFORT FOOD)

Meatloaf (Comfort Food) image

A good meatloaf, served up with gently sauteed onions, "You only Live Once" potatoes, peas and carrots, and of course, the resulting gravy. Uses 2 lbs meat, total. We can just "inhale" a dinner like this! Some "fun" can be had with this recipe by substituting 3 medium or hot Italian sausages (skinned, of course) in lieu of the ground pork.
