Meatloaf With a Little Zing image

This is a very forgiving recipe - you can vary it to suit your taste. But, don't leave out the horseradish which, IMHO, makes it special. Feel free to change the ratio of beef to pork or leave out the pork altogether. If you like it spicy, substitute BBQ sauce for some of the ketchup. The original recipe called for 1 TBSP of salt - I never use that much. In fact, because beef is already loaded with salt, I sometimes omit it entirely, particularly if I use commercial BBQ sauce.
