Italian meatloaf for the meat lover in my home....

If any of you know my hubby, then you know his love for meat.... eating meat... wait this isn't sounding so great. Anyway, if he had a choice for dinner he would rotate steak, hamburgers or bacon/sausage/hamburger/peperoni pizza for dinner every night.

Found this recipe online I think......
