In the 1950’s, diners all seemed to have Mom’s Meat Loaf on the menu. It was considered the penultimate comfort food. Things have not changed. This is my favourite meat loaf and a comfortable meal it made.
A very moist meat dish, Mom’s Favourite Meat Loaf has a topping of a chili sauce & mustard mixture for added zest.
Serve it with fried or mashed potatoes, a green salad and Grilled Marinated Mushrooms and you will not be disappointed.
