Topped with a sweet sauce, Traditional Meat Loaf tastes so good that you might want to double the recipe so everyone can have seconds. "This meat loaf also freezes well," adds Gail Graham of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

Meatloaf was very moist with the addition of the carrots. I was looking for something different than my old standby recipe and this one was pretty good. The only change I made was to double the sauce and add cayenne to the meat.

Absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious! Especially enjoyed the topping, very tasty...unlike other meatloaf recipes that only call for ketchup or bbq sauce.

Such wonderful meatloaf...compared with my grandma's recipe and she said she loved the sauce on top!

This was my first time trying and making meat loaf and I really liked it a lot, I would make it again.

My kids love this. I substitute Onion powder for the onion so that they can't tell theres onion in it and there are no leftovers. I will have to make 2 at a time as they get older!

This is the best meatloaf I have ever had. My husband says that until he tried this , he was not a fan of meatloaf. Very Good!
