Grandma's Old Fashioned Meat Loaf

  Fall is just around the corner and that always reminds me that it's time for making more comfort food for the colder days.  And who but a Grandma knows comfort food the best?

  This is a classic meatloaf recipe given to me by my husband's mom.  When my kids were growing up we loved it when Grandma invited us for  her delicious meatloaf dinner.
