My husband says this is the best sauce we have tried and this recipe is a keeper.

Add finely chopped veggies to the loaf. SO worth it! I just chopped up two carrots and half of a green pepper and added two minced garlic cloves. My husband who loves meatloaf and considers himself a kind of connoisseur told me this was the best meatloaf he's ever had. I'm on the biggest ego high right now.

I made this and liked the consistency of the meatloaf but we tasted LEMON in the sauce and it was not a good pairing. I was really disappointed since the reviews were so good. I used fresh squeezed lemon juice and followed the recipe exactly. Someone else used balsamic vinegar as a replacement. I would recommend replacing the lemon juice with the balsamic vinegar.

My fiancé's favorite main dish by far, he says this is my specialty. The only thing I change it I leave out the lemon juice because he doesn't like lemon juice at all. I would advise to not substitute the shredded bread for bread crumbs; when I tried that, I felt it made the meatloaf too dry.

Love this meatloaf! My husband asks for it all the time, too. The only change I made was that I use 2 slices of whole grain bread instead of 3. Also, I cook up bacon while the loaf is cooking, then add it to the top during the last 10 min. I also make extra sauce since the hubby loves it so much. Thanks for this great addition to my recipe book!

Loved this recipe!!!!! Big hit with the family!!!! I used minced onion and meatloaf mix; beef, pork and veal freshly ground. I don't like using boullion; too much sodium, so I substituted it with crumbled turkey bacon. Delicious!!!!! Will make again!

I have never made meatloaf EVER! This looked delicious so I thought I would try it out. I followed the recipe as written using bread crumbs and lining the bottom of the loaf pan with bread to absorb the grease. I had to cook it almost an hour and half because it was "loose" and not formed. Eventually I took it out because it was "done" but it never formed into a loaf and it was more like sloppy joes. I am giving this recipe 4 stars because the taste was delicious, but looks count, especially for kids, and mine wouldn't eat it because it didn't "look good."

Yum! The glaze is a great addition. I added a little cayenne pepper and black pepper to the meat before baking it to add a little spice.
