I made this tonight for 2 men. I got a vote of 4 and 4 1/2. When I ask what kept it from being a 5 they both said that the meatloaf was missing "something" but that was all they could come up with, they had no idea what was missing. I think that, most likely, they were thinking that it didn't taste *normal* and that is a cardinal sin around here. When I toss a meatloaf together I always add garlic and Italian herbs. That said, they cleaned their plates and said that they liked the the format of using the layers. I liked that too as there is just the one pan to wash up and it's simple to put together. The one hr timing was perfect. Made for Photo Tag.
