Meat Loaf Badger

Return to Recipes

I've been making this Meat Loaf for at least 15 years, and everyone in the family likes it. An interesting sidelight is how the Italian sausage got into the recipe. My original recipe called for ground pork, but when I went to the store to buy the ingredients, the store had no ground pork, so I decided to try Italian sausage instead.
