I've been making this for a few years - a great recipe. Leftovers are great in a sandwich the next day.

This has been our family meatloaf recipe for over 20 years. The only thing we have changed is that we use ketchup instead of the mustard/brown sugar topping. And we pretty much eat it in a sandwich. Whoever said it was bland and dry CANNOT COOK and needs their cooking license REVOKED.
