Not a fan of traditional meat loaf but this became our family favorite. Make ahead, fresh or frozen, always turns out perfect. Imagine meatloaf for company!!!!

Only rating the topping sauce and it is FANTASTIC. Not a fan of the meat mixture, but people should see this recipe for the sauce and use it on their favorite meat mixture.

Took awhile to make, but these were good. Didn't quite have the "traditional" meatloaf flavor to them though. Had an almost italian flavor due to the sage.
