AMY'S A1 MEATLOAF
My friends and family request this often...even those who don't like meatloaf! Sometimes I put minced carrot or rutabaga in for extra texture if I have some in the fridge. I serve it with mashed potatoes with the skins left on and corn. Comfort food at it's comfiest! Use 1 lb. ground turkey to make it a lighter dish, your family won't even know! I also use my stand up mixer to save on time and mess in the kitchen.

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE
When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.
