Before starting this recipe I am sure to have a few ingredients from the garden. Pick the herbs like parsley, thyme and garlic chive before preparing the meat. This recipe has been my creation as long as I’ve been growing my own home garden! * I want to note that I added Ketchup to the top of the meatloaf to please the kiddo’s in our family. To some, it just isn’t meatloaf without the ketchup on top! You can also use salsa or Italian marinara sauce. There are so many small tomato varieties available today that I love using my roasted tomato recipe as a topping for an Italian spin.
