Dear Gramma Cookie,

I love meat loaf and have made it for many years and do like to experiment too.

I find that using STOVE TOP DRESSING in place of the bread crumbs really gives the meat loafs an added flavor. I think the sage and celery in it in place of the thyme and parsley does the trick. Try it, you'll like it.
