"This is a zingy version. My family loves it! I got the orginal recipe from a magazine back in the early 90's. I've changed a few things."

Yummy! Very moist meatloaf. Tangy not sweet. Loved the combination of celery, onion, and green pepper. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Yummy!! Great flavor here. I did a little more on the veggies and added some brown suger to the sauce that goes on top. Even layered some bacon on top. This is a moist meatloaf that is better than the ordinary!!
