Tennessee Meatloaf

My Grandmother ‘Nanaw’ Rowan made the most delicious meatloaf in the state. When she passed away, she didn’t leave me her recipe, but she left me the desire to recreate it. I think this is it, in flavor and texture. Don’t let the number of ingredients discourage you. It’s part of the magic in creating a masterpiece!
