FLORA'S MEAT LOAF MALLERBY

Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook says this meat loaf (called Flora's Meat Loaf Mallerby) is a favorite down at the Diner. The recipe was attributed to Bobbie Carson from Nashville, TN. After making it, I would not be surprised that it wasn't a favorite at the Diner.

I don't eat meatloaf like my husband does (if it's on the menu, he usually orders it), but I do enjoy it when I make it. This one I especially enjoyed and so did my husband. I changed the cooking instructions because I was baking it at the same time with Old Man Schwump's Scalloped Potatoes. The potatoes had to bake at 375 degrees and the meatloaf at 350 degrees. I decided the extra 25 degrees would be okay and I was right. (Seems like so often when I bake meatloaf, I end up baking it longer than suggested for the meat to get done.)

These scalloped potatoes were great with the meatloaf (from the same cookbook).
