Meatloaf is a staple Sunday dinner in the fall and winter around my house. I have tried several different recipes and modifications until I decided to come up with my own.
I have modified traditional recipes to be more flavorful but also more health-conscious. As with most of my recipes, this can be modified to your liking. I have added bell peppers or carrots before and also adjusted the beef and Italian sausage ratio.
