My Husband's Favorite Meatloaf!

My husband says he can eat meatloaf all day everyday! I wanted to put together a recipe together that we all loved, so that I can make it the same way every time. This is the result of several experiments that my husband was happy to be a part of. We loved it! I used fresh spices from my mother-in-law's garden and some organic ingredients. I used Sofrito instead of mincing onion, garlic, and peppers, because I usually have Sofrito already made and in the refrigerator. The spices make this meatloaf flavorful and aromatic. From our family to yours, we hope you enjoy!
