Notes:
Jazz it up by adding 16 oz of left over Sunday Italian Gravy (see in The Recipe Box under Gravies and Rubs for the recipe), a can of tomato sauce, or a can of crushed tomatoes, when adding whichever option you have chosen, make sure to pour it over the meatloaf not just what you chose to cook with the meatloaf.
