I think this is my new favorite meatloaf recipe! I used a tomato basil pasta sauce and loved the basil flavor coming through. Make sure you do add enough salt and pepper to keep the meatloaf from being bland. I added 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Great recipe for the low carb dieters. I used 1 1/2 lbs ground beef so adjusted the ingredients accordingly. Added 1 tsp Italian seasoning and a bit of garlic salt. I chopped up a pepperette and added it to the cheese topping to give even more pizza flavour. The kids enjoyed it too and they aren't the biggest fans of meatloaf, so that was a bonus! Thanks NoraMarie, I will be making this again!

I made this last night. My husband thought it was great but I felt it was pretty bland. I did add 1/2 tblsp Italian seasoning to it. I think I may try it again and add more seasoning.

Made this the other night for dinner and it was really enjoyed. Only change I made was to use red peppers(just my preference). Served with perogies for an easy weeknight dinner.

*Made for the Cookathon in Memory of ED* I had 1 pound of meatloaf mix -- beef, pork, and veal --so went with this recipe as written! I added a tsp. of Italian seasoning and garlic powder, just because -- and this smelled so good while in the oven, DH thought we were having pizza for dinner ! There is plenty left for sandwiches. Thanks for posting, Nora, we were thinking of Ed's brave fight, and your loving care.
