Cripple Creek Meatloaf

Submitted by Kit..ty Of Canada

"Comments by Chef James.T. Ehler: I first used this recipe at the Cripple Creek Country Club in Colorado. This meatloaf was a favorite lunch special in many of the restaurants and hotels I have worked at through the years. It is also a favorite 'employee meal'. Serving Ideas: Serve with a Peppercorn brown sauce. Posters comments: I cut the recipe in half & cook for 1hr. Leftovers are used for a second dinner or meatloaf sandwiches."
