Very good! My picky son made his into a toast sandwich and said "Mmm, it's really delicious!" which made my night! I used Parmesan cheese because I had it, added some garlic powder shakes to the mixture and formed the meat into a loaf shape on top of a broiler pan. It needed an hour in my oven. Thank you for posting my son's fave meatloaf!

I had a similar recipe to this but omitted the flour and added 1/4 cup chopped parsley and 1/4 cup chopped onion. Instead of pan frying I baked it in the oven at 450 for 10-12 min turning once then simmered it in the pasta sauce. Yummy, Thanks!
