Mom's Meatloaf

For those that ate at my Mom's house growing up you might know that her most famous meal and the family's all time favorite is her meatloaf recipe. It may sound strange but my Mom's meatloaf has apples in it, trust me it's good. While my mom was visiting this weekend together we prepared a meatloaf to cook for dinner this week. Since it's always such a big hit I thought I would share Susan's Famous Meatloaf recipe which I plan to make for my family for dinners to come in the future as well. It's such an easy dinner to make, make sure you serve it was some delicious homemade mashed potatoes, corn and biscuits to complete Susan's meal.
