Best Ever Meatloaf

This is my Mother's amazing recipe, serve with a side of veggies for an easy meal. This recipe works best with a leaner meat such as turkey, venison or a super lean beef (like 90/10 ground beef). The fattier the meat is, the more likely you will encounter grease issues. The lean meat will not take away from the flavor AT ALL, I promise. It’s the magic of this recipe!
