Horseradish is optional, but gives it more of a zing. If it is not as potent more may be needed to bring out the flavor. A second egg may be needed if it turns out dry after it is mixed. Cooking times may vary depending on how much meat is used and how round the meatloaf is formed prior to cooking.
