Day 13 not your momma's meatloaf

I love meatloaf! I LOVE my mother's meatloaf!!! It's one of my comfort foods. Growing up meatloaf was always in our rotation, just like pork chops and apple sauce, and chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes and cream corn... Just thinking about it makes me smile😊
I've tried a million, now a million and one times to replicate my moms meatloaf.. She swears that's all it is, is the bells meatloaf mix. I tried that, more than once.. Still no success! Maybe it's because I use turkey instead if beef but it doesn't even come close!! Even the ketchup on the top tastes different. Again she swears she just pours it straight from the bottle! 
I found this on pinterest http://www.laughloveandcraft.com/2011/07/manic-monday-recipe-meatloaf-with-my.html?m=1And I saw it had a sauce on top.. And it said grandmas meatloaf so I thought I'd give it a try. I ALMOST followed the recipe! For the sauce I just did ketchup like my mom does, and I baked these in muffin pan instead of a loaf pan. I'm pressed for time with a busy family especially with a baby, I just never know. Muffin pan 350-30 min, done!! 
This was good.. Not great, but I'm thinking meatloaf will never be great unless my mom makes it! Everything is better when mom makes it...maybe one day my own kids will say the same ❤
