Fabulous! A big hit with the family. I ran out of ketchup, so I used BBW sauce. It was delicious!

wow, is this a delicious recipe! the two modifications i made were to only use 1/3 cup brown sugar in the glaze. also, being these meatloaves are half ground sausage, i chose to bake them on a lightly sprayed rack over top a foil-lined cookie sheet so the grease drained away from the food & there was an easy clean up. thank you, ann!

These were great! And I don't like meatloaf! I make these ahead and freeze them before cooking.

I love this recipe and my husband LOVES this recipe every time I make it. I do a couple of things differently that might be helpful to somebody. I place them on a grid on a cookie sheet which eliminates a lot of the grease. I also make them into patties and grill them in the summertime. Good luck!

My husband and I liked this. My kids eat like birds and barely touched it but that is normal for them anyhow. I made some of the changes suggested. Used Italian sausauge, increased the italian seasoning. I also sauteed a cup of onion in olive oil then added a few cloves of garlic and after it reduced to 1/2 cup sauteed added that. Also added a bit of salt and white pepper. I cooked the loaves without sauce for 40 minutes and then topped the last twenty minutes. For the sauce whoever said to make half was right for us. I'm not a big sauce fan. I halved the ketchup, added about 1/8 cup of brown sugar, a couple of tablespoons of fresh lemon juice for some balance, and a couple of dashes hot sauce. My husband said... these would make good meatballs. I think they would over pasta and tomatoe sauce. Using the Italian sausauge they seem like it would be great. I'm going to try it and bake them just like the recipe calls for.

The meat loaf itself was very good. The sauce however was way too sweet for my family, even the kids who are sugar crazed didn't like it. I will make it again, but find another sauce to top it.

The absolute best meatloaf I've ever had. My 2 year old who doesn't understand what a vegetarian is, but won't eat meat, loves this recipe. A little shortcut is to get the Italian flavored sausage and skip the Italian seasonings.

This was very good. I did not like how sweet the sauce was. I would definately make the meat mixture again but just top it with Ketchup at the end. DH liked the sauce though. I would also leave the parmesian cheese off the top.

The whole house LOVED these. We froze half of them and they were still amazing a week later, even a friend who hates meatloaf loved them. Be sure to only use about half of the topping we used all and had to scrape most of it off, too sweet. Other than that yummy, will definatly make again!

very good, but if you eat too much it gets sickening. Leftovers freeze well and actually taste better than right out of the oven. The flavor seems to sink in more.Would definetly make again. Kids love, and they normally don't like meatloaf.

My husband gave this "3.5" and I give it "4.5" so we split the difference. He is not a big beef fan, so that he enjoyed this recipe says a lot. It was very moist and tasty. It tasted like neither sausage nor ground beef. I did make a few changes. I was out of ketchup, so used an 8oz can of tomato sauce in its place. This worked well. I also sprayed the pan with Pam. It's still very messy. I didn't use a muffin pan as suggested, because ours needs a good cleaning first. I will definitely try that next time. Thanks for a great one! This is surely a keeper in our house. (Added: We now use this mix ALL the time. We freeze it in thirds, and use it to make not only meatloaves, but also hamburgers and meatballs. We love this recipe!)

This is an excellent Meat Loaf! I used 1 lb. of ground turkey instead of the pork because it's what I had on hand. Turned out great. Perfect portion size for a family, eveyone enjoyed having their own. And, no guess work on whether or not the middle of the large loaf is cooked through. Thanks for posting this recipe :)

I had high hopes considering all of the rave reviews. The beef/sausage combination gives a nice texture, but the taste is rather bland, Without the sauce, it has little flavor. I may stick with the meat combination, and add green peppers, diced tomatoes, and some minced garlic to enhance the Italian seasonings of this recipe the next time I make meatloaf. Adding some of the sauce to the loaves may help also.
