Aretha Franklin's Holiday Meatloaf

Wifey made this for Sunday dinner tonight.
It's really good!
While it's still meatloaf, 3 things make it different...
Green olives, crushed red pepper, & corn flakes.
Enjoy!!

Aretha Franklin's Holiday Meatloaf

Source of Recipe
Rachael Ray

6 pounds ground beef
3 cups of cornflakes (plain) or 3 cups of Wheaties, about 2 to 3 large handfuls
2 eggs
3/4 cup sliced green olives with pimentos
2 green peppers
1 large onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon Lowery garlic salt
1 1/2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes
2 cans tomato soup, such as Campbell’s

Preheat oven to 350šF.
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, cornflakes, eggs, green olives, peppers, onions, garlic, garlic salt and red pepper flakes until combined.
On a large baking sheet, form the meat mixture into a loaf shape, cover with foil, and bake 40 minutes.
Take the meat loaf out of the oven, remove the foil and pour both cans of tomato soup over the entire meatloaf. Put it back in the oven and bake, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes.
Garnish and decorate with green olives with pimentos.
This dish would go well with either rice, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti or one of your favorite side dishes.

Sounds really good to me however, DUMP the olives.

The only place green olives should reside is in a Martini!

Aretha gave her Meatloaf recipe on RR's show, then sang a Christmas carol.

I think my AMC Pacer might have enough room in the back for a 6 pound meatloaf
