This recipe was well-received by my family, however next time I make it I may cut down to 3 Italian sausage instead of 4... I found the taste of sausage to be maybe a tad bit overwhelming, but I think it would have been perfect with 3. Overall, very tasty!

This meatloaf was very good! not much I would change except I used liquid egg whites and hot italian sausage and added basil and thyme. I could have used more sausage, 3 instead of the 2 that was used. I got the idea from reading reviews to put bread on the bottom to soak up the grease which worked perfectly! This is certainly going to be the recipe I use from now on. Thanks for a great meatloaf recipe.

good, I used bulk italian sausage instead of links.

I made this lastnight and my hubby did not like this at all.

Great flavor! I love the idea of using cream of wheat--I never would've thought of that on my own :-) I used one lg green chili instead of bell pepper, added 2 cloves of garlic and I didn't have Italian sausage on hand, so I used regular ol Farmer John (8 oz pkg--NOT maple flavored). I always "sweat" the onion/garlic/pepper in a little olive oil before adding to any recipe, to soften them up first--I hate the texture but love the taste of real onion, etc. My husband put in his request to have this as a sandwich for lunch, tomorrow, before we were even half-way done eating dinner. This is a keeper!

Very good recipe. I used the sweet Italian sausage. I didn't have the dry wheat cereal so, I used Italian bread crumbs and the texture and flavor were just unreal. A definate thumbs up!

OK, my turn.. I live part time in The Villages, Florida where there are many, many golf courses and country clubs. One of the newer country clubs serves a meatloaf that is an exact replica of this one! It is one of the most popular dishes that are ordered. I tried this one since it sounded like it would pretty much match theirs. WoW!! My husband couldn't believe I made it. It is amazingly delicious. I am SO happy I found it. It's the same size coming out as it is going in. How many recipes can claim that? It's HUGE. Cold sandwiches the next day were excellent. Can't wait to make it again. Just try it.. you won't be sorry!

Great! Our new favorite meatloaf recipe.

Pretty good base. I added veggies like carrots, & corn & brocolli for substance and it turned out pretty good. I also added a BBQ/ketchup mixture on top to seal all the good stuff in & so it wouldn't' burn on top - it got dried out everywhere the mixture wasn't added.

This meatloaf is to die for! Almost as good as restaurant meatloaf. My only complaint was that it was too seasoned.

great recipe! simple yet so, so flavorfull!! i smoked this at 225 for about 3.5 hours and i can say its the best thing to come off my grill yet!!!

I have 4 kids and a hubby and we loved it, I did make a couple modifications. 1/2 gr pepper (instead of 1), very finely chopped, 1 large onion (instead of regular), finely chopped, (the kids don't notice them). 2 tbsp soya sauce instead of worcestershire. 2 lbs ground beef (instead of 1 1/4). 1/2 cup dry not hot cream of wheat. Put a little BBQ sauce on top before putting in oven. All other ingredients stayed the same. Put in 8x8 glass pan and baked 1 hour at 350. Just perfect and moist. Thanks for the great recipe!

My mom made this for me and my step-dad. He loved it, I thought the texture was a little strange. But, it's good if you have someone in your family who is a finicky eater.

My wife hated this. She went out of her way to tell me how much she didn't like it.

This is a great recipe. I chose to leave out the green pepper and the cereal. I used italian bread crumbs instead. Will definitely make this again.

This was horrible. My husband and kids wouldn't eat it. I would not recommend it.
