About
Oh yes, Soy Sauce Meatloaf is something else. The soy adds a new depth of savory flavor to both the tender beef and the rich glaze on top. Bright balsamic vinegar adds sweetness and tang, making this Soy Sauce Meatloaf a balanced flavor-fest that keeps you coming back for more. You can serve this with mashed potatoes, as is traditional, but you may not want any... you'll be too busy eating this instead!
