Recipe(tried): Swann's Brown Onion Meatloaf Wonder

I have to say this is the most moist and tasty meatloaf I have had in my 40 odd years of life. Beats everything I have ever had hands down. I would suggest serving it as hot as possible and with perhaps mashed potatoes and green beans and buttered carrots for a great meal. Perfect for a Sunday meal that you can prep before hand and then pop in the oven when you come home. Easy to make and the taste is just to die for. Enjoy!!!
