AMAZING. I have learned not to ask my DH what he would like for dinner as he will always say meatloaf. So when he requested it tonight I wanted to find a new recipe as im tired of my old one. AMAZING. This was so delicious. I had to hide a slice of it to send in his lunch tomorrow as the family would have eaten it all.
