Very nice! I love the idea and the ease of this tasty dish! I did make a few changes though: at first, the meatloaf was too wet to hold together, so I mixed in another half cup of breadcrumbs and, just for kicks, a half cup of mozzarella (in addition to what lined the inside). I also used seasoned crumbs and left out the salt and pepper. Great dish! Thanks!

I thought maybe by covering meatloaf in crescent rolls that my 7 YO DS would magically love it. He didn't. But my 4 YO DS did, and ate every bite! DH and I both liked it too, and I think with some tweaking of the spices it could be a real family pleaser for 3/4 of us! The presentaton is great, and the recipe is just all around fun! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful presentation and taste! One of the few dishes I've made recently that totally disappeared at 1 meal. I made 1 change in the prep - I lined the baking pan with a long piece of foil then used the overhang to help me depan. Served with recipe #206252 to make a very full meal. Thanks for posting this! By unanimous vote, it will appear at my table again.
