  1. This was just as good, as I thought it would be AZPARZYCH. Comfort food at its finest, quick and easy to make with terrific results. My dh was in flavor heaven. Made exactly as written. Simply perfect served with mashed potatoes and cabbage. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Pure comfort food. Only change I made was adding 1 tsp. dried Italian Seasoning, on recommendation of another reviewer. More than satisified my meatloaf craving.
     
  3. This was one of those now you see it, now you don't dinners. The 4 of us devoured quickly, though while I was preparing this, I got the look of Meatloaf ? from the kids. Definately not dissappointed. Made for Zaar Stars.
     
  4. My rating is based on the way it ended up. I had some pizza sauce leftover and used that in the meat mix in place of the tomato sauce, added minced garlic along with the onion and some Italian seasoning. Az hon, I apologize for mutating your recipe but it ended up being one of the best meatloaves I've made. I had it in the oven for 1 hr @ 350F, perfect :D
     
  5. I used this in stuffed peppers. Hubby said it was good but bland.

  1. My boyfriend loved this meatloaf! I did use ketchup instead of the tomato sauce added extra flavor but all in all it's quick and easy. Thanks for adding to my menu, I'll be making it again for sure.
     
  2. This was very good. I did use ketchup instead of the tomato sauce. My family enjoyed this very much, Thanks for the great recipe. I will be making again. Made for Spring PAC 2009.
