Made this for a great quick easy weeknight meal and served it along with baked potatoes and corn. I only made it for 1 lb. of ground beef, but still used one egg and did use crushed saltine crackers for the bread crumb. I realized once reading the instructions/ingredients that it didn't include onions and I love the flavor onion adds to the meatloaf so added about 1/4 cup of minced onions. I enjoyed the changes of adding seasoned salt and the brown sugar and mustard with the ketchup. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for Holiday Tag.

This made a great Sunday night dinner for our family. I cut this in half and it served 4 of us plus leftovers for tomorrow. I went ahead and used 2 eggs because that is the proportions that I am used to in a meatloaf. Loved the topping!!!

A good basic meatloaf, I cut back for 4 serves but honestly I could have served 6 without problems and even stretched to 8 with sides. I didn't use the topping (as too high in sugars for diabetics) and served with a gravy and recipe #135629 and steamed brocolli, cauliflower and carrot on the side. Thank you Buzymomof3, made for Christmas Special - Make My Recipe.
