Bill Blass's Meatloaf

Lennie's Note:

From my celebrity recipe collection. I can't imagine Bill Blass kicking back with meatloaf at a dinner party, but I guess he does! He recommends this be served with baked potatoes, red pepper jelly and corn pudding.

This was shared several years ago and I have made it several times, always has been well received. For those fortunate enough to have some left over, this makes wonderful sandwiches.
