Meatloaf With Dates And Pecan Nuts
This meat loaf was for an out doors excursion for my son and 3 of his friends. These young men are tall, tough fellows and they like wholesome "meaty" dishes. This recipe is terrific as with the addition of fruit and nuts, instead of just one meat loaf, I was able to make two - now, there'll be more than enough for the boys.
