Meatloaf

I think I ate meatloaf twice growing up.  I didn’t like it either time.  I am not a fan of ground beef so if I am going to eat it, it has to have LOTS of flavor.  If you feel the same.  Look no further, this recipe is for you.  It is easy, has lots of flavor, and there is NO bacon involved.  Not that bacon is necessarily a bad thing on meatloaf, but I am not a fan.  If you need bacon on your meatloaf, by all means add it.  If you have had troubles with meatloaf in the past, they are over.  Enjoy!
