Mine was soup ?? Not sure what I did wrong, but I ended up draining the liquid, and serving it crumbled ?????. Flavor was good! Just didn't turn out as a meatloaf.

I first tasted this meatloaf when I was 10 years old at camp. I liked it so much that I asked the cook for the recipe. You really have to make this as written. It is very good. Thanks for posting a childhood favorite.

Pretty good meatloaf, kinda like my Mom used to make, she always used Campbell's vegetable soup. I left out the egg and used dried breadcrumbs with catshup for the topping because that was what i had around. Tuned out tasty but a little looser than i like for slicing. Thanks for posting.

This turned out rather well, though I did make a few changes. I pureed the soup (tomato base, pasta, vegetables) and added dried parsley (1tbls) and oregano (1tsp), I also added 1/2c of dried bread crumbs to bring it together (in addition to the fresh bread). Next time I think I will add an extra 1/4-1/2tsp of salt and either more bread crumbs or leave out the fresh bread altogether, as it was a little softer than I would prefer. I also omitted the tomato sauce topping.
