SOUTHERN-STYLE MEAT LOAF
When my husband and I moved down South, we discovered our love for pimiento cheese! It adds southern flair to this meat loaf recipe. My husband loves his cheese, so he likes to add a sprinkle of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeno on top for an added kick. -Patricia Getson, Wilmington, North Carolina
