Meat Loaf with Gravy
Meat loaf rarely gets points for good looks, but it sure can be delicious! Use beef, veal and pork, a trio that yields an especially flavorful loaf that is also easy to slice. And don’t neglect to make gravy from the pan drippings to spoon over the meat loaf and, of course, over a mountain of creamy mashed potatoes (see recipe at left).
