Donnamazing Meatloaf

Everyone for some reason hates meatloaf, but my family goes back for seconds with this one. My Dad taught me how to make his version, but my version is wonderful. I added bread crumbs so that the meat sticks together and it's not as watery. I use to add tomato sauce but ketchup is sweeter. Also, I sometimes add some seasoning salt for a little extra flavor.
