I've probably been making this recipe since I got it from my Mom in about 1985. I have no idea where she got the recipe from. I've been changing it over the years, and now I call it my own. When we started dating back in 1997, my husband would every now and then order shrimp scampi at a restaurant and always regret it afterwards, saying none of them competed with mine. You can vary the amounts of some of the ingredients, like the cayenne and garlic, to suit your taste. That's what I've done here because we like spicy and garlicky. Yum! Serve over angel hair pasta or any pasta of your choosing.

Meatloaf for Tomato Haters
I created this recipe for meatloaf without ketchup because I needed a meatloaf that contained no tomatoes or tomato sauce. I added a hint of hot sauce to avoid blandness. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.
