Killer Hungarian Meatloaf

Submitted by Mark Kovach

"First the name is a goof. This meatloaf has nothing to do with my being Hungarian except that I am so it's an appropriate title. This is an adaption of another recipe I found elsewhere (heavily changed too I add). I happen to think it's killer. Hope you do too."
