I am not a meatloaf fan at all, but my husband is. Luckily, my Grammy
had a meatloaf recipe that even I would eat! I think that the topping
is what makes it so good, but the texture, etc. isn't bad.

It's pretty much foolproof, too. I usually make it with Panko instead
of the oats, but it's good both ways. I have made it with dehydrated
(spice-aisle) onions when I was out of the real thing. I have even
FORGOTTEN to put the cheese in, and it was still great. The only way I
knew something was wrong was because I saw the cup of cheese sitting on
the counter after we had finished eating!!

Here is the recipe. Enjoy!
