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

This is a great recipe and the only meat loaf recipe I use. We like the use of sage and the flavor it gives. Makes a wonderful sandwich from leftovers.

I had been looking for a great meatloaf recipe and bought the magazine specifically for this recipe. I have made this meatloaf several times, and I absolutely love it. I add in about 1/16 tsp of dry mustard, and as I don't like ketchup, I substitute BBQ sauce, and it works great! The meatloaf is tender and very flavourful. Also, because I'm single, I actually double the recipe and make two loaves, slice them after cooling, and freeze into individual portions. I generally have some at least once a week - it's that good!!

Not my husband nor myself cared for meatloaf until I tried this recipe. Now it is a favorite dish! I have made this meatloaf for company many times, and EVERYONE likes it. I break up the brown sugar and warm the ketchup...that seems to help the sauce mix better.

I have made this more times than I can count and it is always delicious. I double the Worcesteshire sauce for added flavor.

I took out the sage and worst. sauce I have picky eaters to feed. I also cut the ketchup to 1/4 and I glazed it after 30 mins it was so good I half wished I made more. It was soooo good. I served it with scalloped potatoes, and steamed carrots and corn, and a salad with red onion, cucumbers, mushrooms, grated cheddar cheese, and home made ranch dressing.
