This is a delicious, flavorful basic meatloaf. Very similar to mine, but a whole lot quicker to put together. It would be a perfect base for adding other favorite ingredients that your family enjoys. The Dijon mustard in the glaze gives it a little zing that we really enjoyed. The only change that I made was to use old fashioned oats instead of the quick cooking. We enjoyed this meatloaf the next day in sandwiches, too. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!<br/>**Made for PAC Fall 2012**
