I am not a gourmet chef, if I had to rate my cooking, I would say on a scale of one to ten I am a seven. This is my Mom's meatloaf recipe. She has made it for years and so have I. Now my Mom is an excellent chef she would get a ten rating, she's Italian. She makes everything from scratch, homemade sauce, pasta, bread, pizza, pie crusts, cakes, and cookies. My sister and brother got her cooking skills, I was the one who wanted the plates and table to look pretty. Ok back to the meatloaf. I guarantee people will ask you for the recipe. I have people who request my meatloaf.
