This is my mother in laws meatloaf recipe. It probably came originally from a supermarket recipe card back in the 80\'s. All the households in our family make this regularly & have made adjustments over the years. My own preference is to add grated veg - they just dissapear into the mix which is exellent if you have fussy kids ( or husbands) This makes 1 HUGE loaf or 2 medium loaves - leftovers are fantastic on sandwiches with extra sauce. You might want a double batch of the sauce.
