It’s a rainy day in Michigan and we feel the need for some comfort foods.  Meatloaf, baked sweet potato and coleslaw for dinner.  Best meatloaf recipe..bar none.  Dare you to beat this one!  Moist,slightly sweet and homey.

Here it Is…The Best Meatloaf Recipe of All Time

1lb. ground beef 80/20 is best

1lb. ground pork

1slice of sourdough bread soaked in milk

1/3 C diced onion

1 tsp salt

1 tsp. pepper

1tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 egg 

1T ketchup plus more for squeezing on top

1t french dressing for squeezing on top

1t barbecue sauce of choice plus extra for top

Mix together all ingredients by hand except toppings.  Form mixture into loaf shape and top with extra ketchup and french dressing. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Slice and serve.
