Smile I have never actually made a meatloaf before .......so this try was all about getting it to taste how I wanted ......... I had had a meatloaf sandwich somewhere ages ago .....and I loved it .......so this was my attempt .....at getting the same taste .......

Aged or mature chedder......Grated....

Butter
..........................................
