The meatloaf was great, though I had to put more salt in it. Otherwisethe flavor was great and the meatloaf itself was nice and moist. :)

They meatloaf part is pretty much your standard meatloaf but the sauce puts it over the top.

The meatloaf itself was very good. It had a good taste to it & was moist. The sauce seemed a little thin & bland to me. It might taste better if ketchup or chili sauce was used in place of the tomato sauce.
