All American Meatloaf

You all probably remember my loaf of meat story.  Well, I am glad to announce that I made meatloaf for the second time in my life.  I ate it too.  This was an abbreviated version from Ann over at Healthy Cooking For Me. The only difference is I added 1 carrot and 2 garlic cloves.  The carrots added an extra bit of sweetness and made me feel better for eating all of the meat.

This recipe was a huge success and I think it will now be my go-to meatloaf recipe.  Of course, I am only introducing this slowly into our recipe rotation so maybe once a year.  But I would highly encourage others who actually love meatloaf to try it out and eat it often.

We finished off the rest of the pretzel rolls with meatloaf sandwiches for lunch.  Mmmm, meat and bread, Mr. J's favorite.
