Crusty Mustard-Dill Meatloaf

Submitted by Penny Stettinius

"This recipe came from Epicurious. Using meatloaf mix — a combination of ground beef, veal, and pork — ensures a juicy result. While the meatloaf cooks, mash some potatoes and saute some green beans with garlic. Warm apple pie from the bakery is the perfect finale to this All-American dinner."
