I found this recipe three or four years ago and tried it out for our Thanksgiving potluck, using some of the suggestions from others. I doubled the recipe and made it in a springform pan, cooking it in a water bath. It was a huge hit and I make it at least three times every holiday season now, always getting asked before parties if I'm bringing it! It's really easy to make and so delicious. I use half low fat cream cheese and half regular. The first couple of times I made it, I had trouble getting even layers so now after pouring in the first layer, I put it in the refrigerator while mixing the second layer. When I'm ready, I spoon in the second layer to keep it from being too heavy in any one place. I find that I always have to cook it for almost an hour and a half, but it's worth it!!

I will start by saying that I do not like meatloaf. I made this because my husband likes meatloaf and loves swiss cheese. The only thing I changed was adding some zucchini, squash and carrots that I had run through the food processor. I used the 7% fat ground beef and still had quite a bit of grease that I poured out of the pan, maybe from the cheese. The meatloaf did not slice neatly and looked pretty unappetizing so I was prepared for us to look for an alternative dinner. I was wrong, it was really good (and remember, I don't like meatloaf). My husband took one bite and said, "This may be one of my favorite meals that you make." Wow!! I'll definitely make it again.
