Savory Meatloaf

It is hard to find a good savory meatloaf recipe that everyone enjoys but when you do, it is a great comfort food.  Meatloaf is really easy to make and just requires your hands to get a little dirty.  Savory Meatloaf should be moist but firm when you put your fork into it.

It tastes great with mashed potatoes or au gratin potatoes or green beans.  Meatloaf is perfect for bringing to the office for lunch.  I like to eat meatloaf sandwiches the next day.  Some people like to add ketchup for even more tomato flavor.  However you like to eat meatloaf, this recipe will not disappoint.

You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or mix the meats.  The result is a savory meatloaf that is a little more dry but still delicious.
