Vegetable Soup Meat Loaf
I found this recipe in a booklet that came with my new Hotpoint stove that my parents purchased in 1950. Mom tried the recipe and it has been a family favorite since. I usually serve meat loaf with baked potatoes and we also enjoy cold slices for sandwiches.6 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 50 min. + standing
