10/10/2011 09:07:24 PM Report AbuseI've been making this for a few years - a great recipe. Leftovers are great in a sandwich the next day.
9/27/2011 04:40:24 PM Report AbuseThis has been our family meatloaf recipe for over 20 years. The only thing we have changed is that we use ketchup instead of the mustard/brown sugar topping. And we pretty much eat it in a sandwich. Whoever said it was bland and dry CANNOT COOK and needs their cooking license REVOKED.
