Meatloaf - Martha's Stewart's Mothers

Years ago, I was watching Martha Stewart.  She had her lovely mother on tv that day and together they made a traditional meatloaf. 

I quickly scribbled out the recipe and made it the next day.  We've enjoyed it ever since.  It's quite easy if you can chop the ingredients in a food processor, but if you're like me and don't have one, then you can chop everything finely by hand. 

It's great served with mashed potatoes.
