I was surprised. My husband and I both enjoyed this. We had mashed potatoes with gravy as a side. Ony suggestion would be to double the sauce. I felt there was not enough sauce.

This was possibly the best meatloaf I have ever had. It was so moist and full of flavor. The family loved the extra vegetables in the texture. The topping added just a little extra flavor as well. Even my pickiest child asked for leftovers the next day, but little did she know that we had finished it off the previous evening.

Except for just halving every ingredient, except the egg, to make a smaller loaf it was very moist. It did dry out a bit on the ends though. Topping was tasty and a nice touch, leftovers were delicious also.

I love this recipe. I use it over and over. And I ALWAYS put the topping on ANY meatloaf I make.
