Mrs. Osborn's Meatloaf

Chef Joyous's Note:

This is recipe that was a favorite of my grandmother's best friend, Mrs. Osborn. This recipe was a favorite of the professional, young men that lived in the boarding house that Mrs. Osborn operated and a favorite of my family's. I usually have the meat ground together at the Butchers. Often I double the recipe as the uncooked meat loaf freezes well.
