Laddie's Bunkhouse Meatloaf
While visiting my older brother and his wife, Laddie, she made us her "famous" meatloaf. She kindly toted all of the ingredients down to the bunkhouse where their TV is located so we could all watch Sunday football playoffs and the first episode of Downton Abbey together.
Laddie says, " I had, before cattle, also made it with ground turkey. I have used it for picnics and boating parties, serving it chilled or room temp with assorted mustards. Add some cornichons and it is almost a pate! I recall that when it is chilled it does slice well. This is especially "eye catching" when made with the hard boiled eggs down the center! I am glad that you enjoyed it! "

Peel hard boiled eggs. Shape meat mixture into loaf while placing eggs in center. Place in 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking dish.

Thanks, Laddie, for sharing your recipe!
