This was probably the tastiest meatloaf I ever made! I didn't have veal or turkey, so I had to use just hamburger and ground pork -- but it still came out wonderful! It wasn't dry, every bite had wonderful flavor, and it looked so good when it came out of the oven. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, it's a new family favorite!

<br>Yes, I really AM a Witch, although I usually use the term Pagan when asked my religion. Paganism is an Earth-based spirituality that moves in harmony to the seasons, and recognizes both the Male and Female Divine. And no, I can't fly on a broom (darn it!)
