Note

Note: The original ingredient list included "2 Cups olive oil" and "3 Cups mayonnaise" which are excessive for a standard loaf and likely errors in the source data. Typical meatloaf recipes use 1-2 tablespoons of oil for greasing and 2-3 tablespoons of mayo for binding. Adjust quantities to taste for a less greasy result.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or toaster oven.

Variation: Add 1/2 cup of grated carrots or celery to the mixture for extra moisture and sweetness.
