Mediocre Meatloaf

I wanted to make a nice, homey meal for this snowy night. Meatloaf with mashed potatoes & lima beans seemed to fit the bill. I chose a meatloaf recipe from J's mom's "West Point Hostess" cookbook, from about the 1960s. I didn't have cornflakes, however, nor Corn Chex to sub, so I used dry bread crumbs. The consistency wasn't what I prefer and there were some sticking issues which would be resolved, I expect, with a little cooking spray in the pan. The meatloaf tasted fine and my aunt liked the consistency, as well, but it was too mushy for me. Maybe you like it mushy.
