Nana’s Meatloaf
Kaiser Family | WEST ORANGE, NJ
“This recipe comes from my children’s great-grandmother. She used to own a diner in New Jersey and the meatloaf was on her menu. This was the only way I could get my kids to eat meatloaf. Sometimes, when the children were younger, I would shape the meatloaf as a heart for Valentine’s Day. They love this recipe. It is great comfort food.” MARIA KAISER
