Old Fashioned Meatloaf

There's nothing like a good old fashioned meatloaf to make you appreciate good home cooking! I have several different ways I make meatloaf, but this is just a simple, basic recipe. I didn't take any pictures making it, so you'll just have to view the finished product. I made some fresh green beans and new potatoes (yes, in my electric pressure cooker) and sliced tomatoes. You can't get any simpler than that.
