YUM: Meat Loaf

Internet: I confess that I've never been a fan of meat loaf. I ate it once in 5th grade...at a friend's house. It was most definitely never made in my mom's kitchen. But I wondered if it was one of those delicacies that you learn to appreciate as you grow up, so I was willing to give it a chance. I tried this recipe is from the National Kidney Foundation, and I would say that my mind is changed. Jordan asked if we could make this one again.
