My entire family enjoyed this, but it was slightly too sweet. I think next time I try this, I may decrease the brown sugar to 1 tsp. It would also help to use unsweetened applesauce. I would also say that this would serve 6-8 instead of 4-5. -
I had some applesauce that I needed to use up so I followed recipe exactly, except that I didn't have any Dijon mustard, so I used a spicy brown mustard instead. It was very pretty and different, not really like a meat loaf at all. One DD and I LOVED this it! The other DD and DH liked it, but said they preferred the less fruity traditional meatloaf. -
This was a really tasty meatloaf and very easy to make. I'm not a real meatloaf fan but this was exceptionally tasty and left a wonderful flavor in your mouth. My husband on the other hand is a big meatloaf lover and I had to remove it from the table in order to make sure there was any left for sandwiches. Thanks for sharing a new and tasty treat -
This was very different from the ususal ketchup meatloaf that I have been making forever, but what a difference. It had a great taste. I only wish that there was some leftover for sandwiches. It was devoured. I cooked it in the crockpot for nine hours because it was just too hot to put on the oven. Very moist and extremely flavorful.

<P>I'm a Mom of three boys: 19, 16, 13 (Josh, Jake and Jonah) and a 1 yr old golden retriever-Jethro. I work full-time as a Medicare compliance analyst for a non-profit health insurer. I love to cook - although I don't always have enough time to do as I'd like to do. I don't especially care to do the clean up though- but who does?? Food in general brings people together and makes people feel at ease. My boys love to help out in the kitchen-especially if I'm baking bread or baking sweet treats for them. If anyone were to ask them what I put in a recipe - first two ingredients they'd list would be olive oil and garlic -- (well not for the sweet stuff..at least)! I'm constantly browsing to see how I can alter/influence my family's eating - as well as trying to get it on the table quickly! My boys are all hockey players - so I spend a lot of time at the ice arena. When I have time of my own..I try to get on the golf course or read cookbooks.</P>
