Granny's “MOUTH-GASMIC” Meat Loaf

Okay someone emailed me and asked me where did all these recipes I post come from. Well when my Grandmother C. and Grandmother S. passed away both of them left me their entire recipe collections because they had decided long ago that I was the “ONLY” one of the boys in the family that had a desire and need to do something in the kitchen other than dirty up plates and pass gas while digging through the candy drawer. So yea, that’s where they come from and thanks for asking too, great question. Okay, so why do I post them? Well, I just decided since I have no kids and nobody to really pass all 5000+ recipes on too that I would give them to the Internet for safe keeping and post them on my blog.

Anyhow I was asked by someone to post my best meatloaf recipe, so here it is for ya as requested, you know who you are! :)

This meat loaf is an old-fashioned favorite that my Grandmothers (both of them actually) used to make. This Meatloaf recipe was so good that everyone that ever made it only made it this way from the first time they tried it. It’s made with ground beef, sausage, oats, and other ingredients and seasonings that will just do nothing more than give your taste buds a "meaty loafy" tastylicious “mouth-gasm.”
