Notes

1. Nutritionals include bread crumbs and if you don't want or have the bread crumbs crushed pork skins are a great substitute.
2. Any good shaved deli ham will serve in place of the proscuitto and it will of course alter the taste a bit.
3. Any leftovers can be used for fabulous meatloaf sandwiches or portioned & frozen for further dinners.
4. You can also opt to wrap the meatloaf in bacon cause bacon never hurts anything.
