MEDITERRANEAN MEATLOAF



Mediterranean Meatloaf image

This is a nice substitute for regular meatloaf. We're not big fans of traditional meatloaf but we really like this dish. I've served it with a Greek salad, marinated olives and bread. From an AP food story in the newspaper which said the recipe was developed by the Quaker Oat Company.
