Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 slices white bread, crusts removed

MARTHA STEWART'S ALL AMERICAN MEATLOAF



Martha Stewart's All American Meatloaf image

This is a great meatloaf. I'm surprised it hasn't already been posted yet. The only thing I like better than meat loaf is meatloaf sandwiches, and this meatloaf is even better the next day; sliced between whole wheat bread, topped with a slice of cheese, and lots of mayo. Note: I omitted the veal and adjusted the amount of beef and pork to compensate--it was still great.
