Notes: This is delicious and my favorite meatloaf! I serve with a side salad or Caesar salad and garlic bread! I have made a lower carb version of this as well, substituting bread crumbs with ground pork rinds and using Rao's homemade tomato basil sauce which only has 4 net grams of carbs per serving. There are low carb breads you can also buy to substitute regular bread.
