Good flavor, but it did not hold together at all. Basically I had Italian flavored crumbled beef. Disappointing.

I've been looking for something other than the traditional meatloaf and decided to try this one. My husband absolutely despises ketchup so I substituted chunky spaghetti sauce as another review suggested. I do not have a meatloaf pan so I formed a larger loaf (about 10 x 6 x 2) and baked it on a foil lined jelly roll pan. It turned out moist and delicious. Husband ate a second helping and said a couple of times that it was really good. Served it with angel hair pasta with butter and parmesan along with a bakery garlic loaf. This will be a keeper for us.

My boyfriend said this is the best meatloaf he has ever had. Although he wasen't thrilled with the tomatoes. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the great recipe!

I really like this meatloaf. I added finely chopped onions and green peppers and ended up using less then the full can of tomatoes. Also used a bit more bread crumbs and used a bit more Italian seasoning. Also added black pepper and cayenne and that worked great. The ground beef was 80/20, and it worked fine for a moist but not too greasy loaf. Not sure that the mozzarella is worth it. I couldn't really notice it inside the loaf and any that ended up on the outside melted and made a mess. Maybe adding the cheese in larger chunks inside the roll, or simply as a topping in slices would work better. I cooked this the way I do all meatloaf; uncovered, on an oiled broiler pan, with foil on the bottom of the pan for easy cleanup. I like the brown outside and the excess grease drips down. Smelled fantastic while cooking, and the leftovers rock! Served with mashed potatoes that had parmesan added. I'll be keeping this meatloaf recipe.

This is definitely a keeper! My husband loved it. The bread crumbs I had on hand were Italian, so I left out the Italian seasoning. As another reviewer suggested, I used spaghetti sauce instead of ketchup. My can of diced tomatoes were seasoned with oregano, basil, and garlic. Not only was it delicious for dinner, the leftovers made tasty meatloaf sandwiches with provolone cheese and a little extra spaghetti sauce on a toasted hoagie bun.

My husband -- who whined for years that meatloaf is disgusting -- LOVES this as do both of my kids. Have made it three times so far to rave reviews each time!

A very different twist on meatloaf! I splashed a little worscheser sauce into it, and forgot the garlic powder. (I thought it had enough salt into it from the canned tomatoes) It smelled like pizza, and it was done 1hr 10 mins. Very moist and lots of flavor, husband wasn't in the mood for meatloaf, but was glad I made it. Thank you!
