Grandmother's Old Fashioned Meatloaf {Cooked In A Cast Iron Skillet}
Old Fashioned Meatloaf Recipe My Mother-in-law's recipe. She taught me early on to cook my meatloaf in a cast iron skillet, which has never changed, and she also taught me not to forget to save the tripping for delicious tomato gravy. She would form her meatloaf in a bun and cook it with enough water about a third way up in the skillet. All those delicious juices make a wonderful gravy. She believed that a good meatloaf recipe is one that has a good ratio of fat in the hamburger.
