Easy meatloaf

Pax44's Note:

This is my mom's very simple and very delicious meatloaf recipe. **Be careful- it's been reviewed as very salty!! It may not need the salt called for in the recipe. It is probably the Progresso breadcrumbs. I use kosher meat which does not need extra salt because it is already salted and also contributes to the flavor- I've tried and the flavor hasn't come out as good with other meat.

For a 'plain' meatloaf it was good(and not salty!)...even my kids liked it.

I bet the salty reviewer used garlic SALT!! instead of the suggested powder, commen and understandable mistake. I'm getting ready to make this now, I'll let you know how it goes :)

I have made this 3 times now and my family loves it. I added a teaspoon of tomato paste and about a teaspoon of itallian seasoning. After I put it on the pan I pour more tomato paste over the whole meatloaf.
