This is a quick and easy recipe to make. If you love salmon then you will love this recipe. My mom has been making this for years so I thought I would write it down so other people can try it. This recipe is great because you can either use bread crumbs or biscuits. My mom usually uses bread crumbs but this time she used the biscuits that she had made the other night, and it was great. I hope you like this salmon loaf as my family loves it.

Meatloaf has been around for a long time. There are so many recipes that one can make. This is the recipe that I grew up with and for some reason, it's the only one that I use. Normally, I don't add green peppers to my meatloaf but I had one that I needed to use so I chopped it up and put it in. It did taste great. While looking through my recipe book, I came across two other meatloaf recipe. One had you using rolled oats and the other had you using potatoes.
