I found this recipe in a Magic Chef cookbook from 1936. My picky new boyfriend did not like mine so I thought I would try something really simple. He liked this one but prefered that it be cooked until much drier than I like it, I followed the hour long cooking time the recipe called for and then put his back in for another 15 minutes that way we both were happy. So here is a basic simple recipe for meatloaf, I like it because I almost always have all these ingredients on hand.
