I first shared this recipe after mentioning that my Mom’s meatloaf remained my favorite, even after trying Ina’s individual meat loaves. Doesn’t everyone who loves meatloaf think their mom’s is the best?
There are no surprising ingredients in this recipe, and that’s what makes it so good! It’s a hearty, satisfying comfort food that I’ve enjoyed for nearly four decades.
While it’s delicious when I make it, it’s always better when my mom does!
