Southern Meatloaf

"Classic comfort food with a Southern twist! You just can't beat a moist, flavorful, tender Southern meatloaf recipe that brings your family together around the table. Pair the easy dinner with mashed potatoes, cornbread, collard greens, or green beans for a simple, cozy dish that everyone loves! So what makes this particular recipe so special? Inspired by a dish in Sarah Foster's book, Southern Kitchen, this meatloaf includes a couple of Southern "twists." Instead of oatmeal or breadcrumbs, cornbread crumbs serve as the binder in this Southern meatloaf recipe. Additionally, instead of using just ground beef or even a "meatloaf mix," this recipe uses a 50-50 blend of ground beef and ground pork. Pork is a source of Southern pride -- especially for those of us born and raised in Virginia -- so any chance that we get to add it to a meal, you know we will! I just love how much flavor these two simple ingredients -- cornbread and pork -- add to the traditional dish."
