This is the same recipe my 93 year old mother made and it has ALWAYS been a hit with everyone who is lucky enough to have a slice! The only thing we did not include is the cheese, however I just recently made it exactly as the recipe states and the cheese is a wonderful, rich addition! Love this recipe, it's definitely a keeper!

I have been making these for years. Very tasty and cook quickly. Leftovers reheat nicely.

These are my go-to weeknight meatloaf recipe. They bake faster because they are single loaves and the cheesy flavor is great. Left overs can be frozen for future meals.

Best ever!!! I add bell peppers to it and usually double or triple it so I can freeze some for another meal. I have taken it to family reunions as meatballs and everyone wanted the recipe!

I cannot see the recipe because of the advertisement covering it. I only see the partial ingredients. Egglands Best takes up a huge square over the ingredients!

A good beef dish should be juicy and full of aroma https://web.facebook.com/cookingplushomedecor/?modal=admin_todo_tour

Loved by everyone! I doubled the recipe but did not double the cheese or the brown sugar. The sauce was plenty sweet and could maybe even do with less sugar. My husband said this was his favorite meatloaf recipe.
