Meatloaf, the Way I Remember It.

Submitted by Jim W428

"Delicious meatloaf just as I remembered. This meatloaf is tasty, tender, juicy, and firm enough to be sliced. The best meatloaf is the one that tastes like the one you grew-up with, this one is mine. 2010 - Jim Woodard"

This was really good and since I used ground turkey - it had enough seasoning to be tasty and not bland. The only thing I forgot to do (maybe it was my fault because a friend came in & I continued working on this recipe) but at no point did the recipe say when to add the sauteed onion and garlic to the meatloaf, so needless to say, I pulled the meatloaf from the oven and put the onion/garlic mixture on top which was delicious!
