Notes: When making meatloaf, the important thing is that it “sounds right “The moisture from milk and relish needs to have the right sound to give a moist finished product. Tessa’s dad and her brother didn’t like the feel so Tessa learned to make this recipe early on in her life.
Major Note: Do not overwork the meat mixture. It will cause tough meatloaf
