I give up on meatloaf...
As I can't put my finger on the taste I'm looking for. Sorta sweet, moist, and lots of sauce on top. Of course the hugs and conversation you'd get from Mr. M everytime you went into the deli may have factored in on the taste. smileys/smile.gif
Meatloaf, it was the one thing mom could-not-make. Love you mom, but no thanks on the meatloaf. And I've tried several receipes that are good, just not near the same.
Oh and the nephew at his deli thinks he makes the same recipe, he will swear up and down it's the same but it's not even close. He claims he got the recipe from his uncle, but if he did... the joke is on him as it wasn't the same one - no suprise as at the time they each had their own place.
