What a GREAT meatloaf! It was sooooooo ful of flavor. I used ground sirlon and added some minced garlic (because I put it in everything), and a Mexican blend chesse, with a little salsa on tope with the last topping of cheese otherwise I followed the recipe as writtened. This recipe was easy to pull together and a nice change frome regular meatloaf. I would advise that you nlet the loa sit for 5 minutes before slicing. I will make the monster again!
