This is really delicious meatloaf! It was really moist and tasty. The loaf was not mushy at all, as indicated in the other reviews. If you use the exact ingredients and cook for the appropriate amount of time, then it has a perfect texture. We will definitely make this again.

I made this when I had company for dinner. Though it was thoroughly done it was pretty darn wet and I wished I had cooked it better to dry it out some. I used extra lean beef. The flavor was very nice. I personally did not care for the look of the tomato chunks in it. I would use tomato paste not chucks, if I were to use this recipe again. But that is really just a personal preference. I feel very strongly that food should not only be good but should also be visually pleasing. This meatloaf, to me, was not. But, like I said, the flavor was really nice. Thank goodness I was cooking for my bachelor father who didn't care about the appearance (I think) and was glad to have a tasty home cooked meal.

After reading reviews, I formed a loaf and placed it in a broiling pan to drain as it cooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but added chopped onions. This meatloaf was MUSHY. The flavor okay, but I don't know what the cheese added other than calories. If I can give you just one tip, just use 1 egg! It's the 2 eggs that made it mushy. By the way, I baked it at 375 for an hour, fifteen minutes.

I didn't have mozzarella...substituted parmigiano reggiano....left out the tomatoes. It was fabulous! My husband ate 3 helpings, and we think it's the BEST meatloaf.

This was incredibly moist and yummy and enjoyed by all. Made GREAT sandwiches the next day too. My only change is that in addition to the mozzarella I also added maybe 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese which needed to be used up. I used ground sirloin (90/10) and only had to drain it once, after it was cooked. This is a keeper. Thank you.

I don't like meatloaf and I LOVE this. I made this for my girlfriend and it is now her favorite recipe to make. I also serve tomato sauce on the side.

This is a good recipe. You can really mold this one into whatever you like--it is pretty fool proof. For instance, I make mine without the tomatoes and cheese, but with a bit more garlic and it comes out great. Our favorite meatloaf!

I used italian style bread crumbs, and instead of the ketchup, I used 1/4 cup of leftover pasta sauce. This meatloaf came out wonderful, it was so moist and delicious!

This meatloaf is flavorful and moist. I added a handful of celery to give some texture. My husband, who crinkled his nose when I told him meatloaf was on the menu, loved it! I dumped out the excess liquid after 20 minutes, and again at 40 minutes.

I didn't like meatloaf before, but this meatloaf is so different than any traditional meatloaf. I loved it and so did my husband; he asks me to make it often!

I have to admit, I was not a big meatloaf fan... But, this sounded interesting so I went for it, and now I'm really glad I did. It was absolutely amazing! I will never look for another meatloaf recipe again. I only made a few modifications, because that is all I had on hand. I used half ground turkey breast with half ground italian sausage (I just took it out of the casings) and I used 1/4 cup Classico spicy tomato pesto because I didn't have ketchup. It had the most amazing flavor and I will definitely have to share this recipe with friends. Thanks for posting!!

And thats without the cheese. I inadvertantly forgot to mix in the cheese but fortunately got all the other spices and ingrediants called for and it was still restaurant-quality, first class. Great church meal

Very good recipe. My family loved it and they are not big meatloaf fans. I did change a couple of things because I used what I had on hand. I replaced the tomatoes with a 14oz jar of pizza sauce. I also used 2lbs of 96% lean ground beef. I increased the bread crumbs to 1 cup and used italian bread crumbs. I also replaced the ketchup with 8 ounces of italian tomatoe sauce.

I made the following modifications to this recipe after reading the postings. I used the leanest meat I could find 97/3. I used jar spagetti souce instead of ketchup, and I added more cheese. I baked the leaf in a small lasagna pan. (I just shaped the loaf and placed it in the middle of the pan.) I had no "grease or oil". The meatloaf was awesome. (I HATE MEATLOAF! I only made it because I was forced to make it.) This recipe will now be in my "rotation" of dinners! THINK: lasagna without the pasta.
