Not bad, although when I tried to roll up the meat into a pinwheel it was way too thick and barely made a single circle. -
This was the first recipe I ever made from Recipezaar. I've made it once a month since and consequently passed the recipe (and the site) on several times. Muchas gracias Country Lady! -
My family thought this was an excellent recipe, we all enjoyed it very much! It also made some great sandwiches the next day. Not your average meatloaf! It was a well written and easy to follow recipe, and I will be making it again. Thanks for posting!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
