This meatloaf came out very good and my meat-eater fiance told me that it was just as good as, and tasted very close to, "traditional" meatloaf. I did make a few minor tweaks to the recipe, but mostly just based on personal preference. First, I couldn't find the fake ground beef at the store so I used the fake ground sausage instead, which added a nice flavor but made the loaf just a tiny bit too salty for my taste. (So, if I use the sausage again, I will definitely cut down on the salt in the recipe.) I also sauteed the onions before adding (to cut down on the crunchiness) and substituted ketchup for the tomato sauce. (The ketchup contrasted nicely with the savory flavor of the meatloaf.) Those were the only minor changes made, though, and I feel that this is a great recipe for anyone craving the taste of a traditional meatloaf. I will definitely be making this again!

Great recipe! Very good and so easy to make! I substituted a bag of frozen vegetables for the canned vegetables and didn't change anything else. (Although I did accidentally add the egg to the mixture instead of using it to coat the crust, but the pie still came out great, just a little thicker than it should have been.) Overall, the pie was very tasty and I will definitely be making this again!!

This is a great recipe!! Even with making some substitutions (applesauce instead of oil and 1/4 c Splenda and 1/4 c honey instead of the full amount of honey) it came out really good. Very flavorful and moist. Even my 3-year old liked it! :-)
