Meatloaf – Randy’s tweaks to Gregg’s

I liked Gregg’s meatloaf but I wanted to make a recipe that would cook in one hour and have a little more kick. This is what happens when you drink a martini and start adding ingredients as you go. I’m sure Gregg did the same thing while drinking a few beers.

I would like to try this as a Sous Vide for 24 hours recipe and finish on a BBQ grill. I think that would take it to another level.
