This is a darned tasty meatloaf, CL! Very easy to mix up, and bake, and the flavor is very good...it's even better the next day for sandwiches! Followed your directions, but, did leave out the carrots as I didn't have any on hand. Also, used Celery Seed in place of fresh...about 1/2 tspn. Thanks so much for sharing...We really enjoyed!
