Carol's Easy Meatloaf

I don't know how Carol came up with her meatloaf recipe but I want to thank her for it! It not only is incredibly delicious but is also soooo easy to make too. I hate to cook and this is a really great tasting meatloaf. My adult son is living with me now so I am cooking a lot more than I normally do and am really appreciative of any recipe that is easy to make and tastes great. Many thanks Carol! Elizabeth
