*Funny note: I call this Dog Gone Good Meat Loaf because when I came up with it and made it the first time, my husband left the pan on the stove while he ate dinner. It was good..so he went back for more...and our hound dog (Clifford...and yes...he is big and red) had stood up on his hind legs and eaten the rest of the meatloaf off of the stove! So, it has the husband's and the hound's seal of approval. I hope you enjoy it as much as they did!
