It turned out really well, but I might add some more ground beef and maybe some more tomato sauce.

This meat Loaf had good flavor but was to mushy for our family.

Lots of flavor but stayed a bit runny even with the draining which made it hard to get out. Add extra meat and it works better. Over all this is the best reciept for my family and meatloaf.

Try making with one pound ground beef and one-half pound ground veal. Very good.

This is a great recipe. We make this often and kids love it. To make this even easier use a jar of spaghetti sauce. We also use extra cheese.

It should be renamed Meatloaf Parmigiana! I added some fresh basil on the mozzarella. It also took a lot longer than 1 hour to cook.

Plan on baking it longer.

Nice combination of flavors!
