Notes: I truly love good meatloaf and after a lot of so-so attempts this is my favorite recipe. If you're a fan of green peppers you can add some chopped ones to the mix, and/or a 1/4 cup each of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. My husband loves it best when I scatter quartered red potatoes around the loaf and let them oven roast with it.
