We really enjoyed this. It was a little on the mushy side so I would advice you to use the full amount of breadcrumbs if you like your meatloaf more firm. The flavors worked great together and it was so easy to prepare. I made it as posted and used the chili sauce as well. Thanks for posting. Made for Fall PAC 2009 :)

OOOoooo this is really good meatloaf that went over really well w/the MEN of this house. I used 2 lbs. of the lean ground beef and omited the onion. The only other deviance I made from your list of ingredients was to include 1 whole egg. So, I really didn't make this very LF/LC, but the guys really don't care. :-) The steak sauce really added a nice little nip to the mix. Thanks for a great keeper recipe~ Made for PAC - Spring '09.
