Very, very nice tasting meatloaf! Used very lean meat along with multigrain breadcrumbs & honey mustard! I don't usually use a topping, but did this time & am glad I did ~ It was a very nice addition! Will certainly make it again! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]

Great meatloaf, good flavor, great topping. We followed recipe exactly except substituted tomato sauce for juice because we didn't have any. We tripled the sauce and made the recipe into little individual meat loaves to freeze for lunches.

This was a nice starting point meatloaf...if I made it again I would add some chopped celery,garlic and some herbs,maybe oregano or thyme. Thanks for sharing your recipe,Nance.
