GRANDMA'S MEATLOAF

My grandma calls this recipe "get a hug" meatloaf because apparently my uncles used to give her hugs when shes made this meatloaf. This recipe tends to be more on the sweet side as far as meatloaf goes. This recipe is great and you can never go wrong with sweet. Sometimes I also use another recipe to make savory meatloaf, depending on my mood.
