I've made this numerous times and my family requests it again and again, it's delicious! I make turkey meatloaf and wouldn't go back to beef.

I made this for my DH's lunch tonight, with recipe #184868. He thought it was a bit too saucy, so scraped about 1/2 the sauce off the sandwich. Otherwise made as is. I will use this recipe again! Thank you for posting! Made for 2009 Spring PAC
