Notes
- This is my grandmother's recipe that my family loves as is. But you can absolutely adapt it to your specific tastes so your family loves it just as much as we do!
- Don't have a loaf pan? Shape the loaf and then bake it in the center or a foil lined baking sheet instead.
- While we prefer a ketchup topping, you can also use barbecue sauce or even a mixture of the two!
- If you want to add more veggies to this, you can add finely minced green bell peppers, carrots, or even celery.
