Spicy Italian Meatloaf

I picked up this recipe while grocery shopping at my, once again, favorite local food market. This dish is among one of many favorite dishes of Western cuisine. Meatloaf is a comfort food and usually used as a cure for those with a broken heart and a supplement for satisfaction goodness. For me, this is an experiment for the supplemental goodness.

Please excuse me for my unappeal photo skills...There's a reason why I don't own a Canon or Nikon as my camera of choice. I received 4 stars from both judges for this meatloaf.

P.S. Pick up a recipe from HEB kitchen station...it will do you some good, as it did to moi.
