Actually my mother's recipe was fairly decent. It was a moist meat
loaf, not like oven baked, but decent. We ate the meat loaf a lot
during summer because firing up the oven when it was 118 degrees
outside didn't appeal. She had five young children to feed so meat loaf
was a popular meal.


I would rather fire up the oven in hot weather than braise something for
hours on the range top. At least the oven is insulated.
