This tasted good, but I had a hard time rolling up and transferring to a pan. It also didn't set up well even after sitting more than the recommended 15 minutes. Since no oven temp was listed, I baked the meatloaf at 350 for about one hour 15 minutes. Hopefully this recipe will turn out better for others. It was tasty and certainly easy.
