This receipe was good. I, like most, omitted the MSG. I also used ketchup for the top instead of tomato sauce. My only problem was that it was so moist that it was almost mushy. Next time I'll add more bread crumbs or reduce the water a little. I should point out, my husband thought it was great.

My family loved this one. It was nice and moist, but not too moist. I left out the bacon and the msg, and I substituted a mixture of ketchup and BBQ sauce for the outside of the loaf instead of tomato sauce.

Not a meatloaf fan but liked this one. Forgot to put the bacon on and did not have any MSG, but it was still good. Also did not need whole can of tomato sauce for top.

Kind of bland and the meat was almost too moist, kind of "goopy".

I've always used this recipe minus the bacon on top. Really good with a little tomato sauce on top. I make it by sauteeing a bit of onion & bell pepper in bacon drippings then adding some tomato sauce, water, salt & pepper, and tabasco. Very good and very moist. My only meatloaf recipe.

Meatloaf isn't my thing at all, but my husband loves it so I tried this recipe. It was pretty much a hit. I didn't think it needed the extra fat that comes with the bacon, so I left it out. I also used 1/3 cup of ketchup inside instead of 1/4, it didn't require the entire can of tomato sauce on top. I sprinkled parmesan cheese on top as well. I used the entire package of onion soup mix just as suggested and it was fine.

My husband and mother absolutely loved this recipe. I did leave out the MSG and only put half a packet of onion soup mix. Will definately make again.

This is really good stuff. I omitted the MSG and bacon, but added Parmesan cheese and sun dried tomatoes. So good for a quick, home cooked meal.

I used Heinz 57 sauce instead of the ketchup on top and substituted it for the tomato sauce inside to make it a little "zippier". This was a big hit, and we make a bigger meatloaf just to ensure left overs for next-day sandwiches.

I really didn't care too much for this recipe. The onion soup overpowered it and it seemed like that was all you could taste. Also had to use about 1/2 cup extra ketchup than it called for on top.

I love this recipe for meatloaf! I will never make it another way. Everyone who has tried it has asked for the recipe. It's also quick and easy to make.

I have to tell you that with being out numbered 7/1 with the men of this house this was a piece of cake to make for them. And they ate the double batch. This recipe was aslo made the morning of having the fella's place it in the oven. I did delete the MSG!
