Meat Loaf

Let me start by saying that I hate ground beef. I rarely eat it but I know that Joey loves it so I thought I would try a meatloaf as a treat for me. I can not believe how much I enjoyed this recipe. It was also good reheated the next day!

Pepper added by Joey - Day 1: a little bit, Day 2: a little bit more
