Tomato Soup Meatloaf

I'm always on the look out for new ideas. Some times I just experiment or I surf the web to see if any one else has a comparable idea. I found a few recipes that had my idea so I was pretty sure it would work first time out. The "web" is a great place for lessening the "trial and error" time. I also feel that there are a few things in life that just can't be improved upon. In the food world Campbell's Tomato Soup is one of those. I think, for a lot of people, this soup includes a lifetime of memories with every spoonful
