This was my very first time making a meatloaf. I used a recipe my mom sent me and changed it up a little bit. The only thing i really changed was substituting a large white chopped onion for small chopped green onions from my little garden. I am not a fan of large onions in meat and i think that's why i avoided meatloaf as a child.One thing i love about cooking now is i can revisit all of those dishes from my past that i would think..."this would be SO GOOD if it didn't have (blank) in it." For me that could mean anything from cheese to mushrooms to cilantro to any white sauce at all.
These days i cook how i want. And THIS meatloaf is not only amazing, but good for those who have texture issues and strange food avoidances like me. You can eat this without picking anything out!
