Mom made this scrumptious main dish frequently when I was growing up. When I first met my husband, he wasn't fond of meat loaf. This is the first meal I prepared for him, and now he requests it often. —Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas

Delicious. I added garlic powder and dried thyme. The sauce on top makes it special.

Good meatloaf! My husband said it reminds him of his mother's meatloaf.

Very good and very tasty. I changed a little bit by replacing some of the crumbs with bran and added garlic.

YUM YUM YUMMY Will make again, I also didn't have an onion on hand so we used dried minced onions that you get off the spice aisle(The conversions were on our bottle). Great to make if you have are running low on ingredients to make most other ground beef recipes :D
