This was good, but it needed a little something as it was a bit plain. It was easy to make on the stove top, but I did have to increase the time it took to cook and excluded the sauce for this as not everyone likes mustard.

My bf actually made this and loved it. We used spaghetti sauce and added onions, garlic and mushrooms. It was soo tasty and filling with some mash potatoes.

We loved this! I use marinara sauce because I hate tomato soup.

This was very good, but I too found that I needed to use smaller loaves of meat. We really enjoyed it and I will make this many times.

The overall flavor was good. One change: I used "No Salt" with low sodium. As I mixed 73% lean ground beef with the ingredients I saw a problem; it was not firm enough to hold together. When browning, the loaves crumbled as I turned them over in the skillet. There was not enough sauce in the pan to stir it so meat simmered in it. Next time I will follow Megan's suggestion and make smaller portions rather than two loaves. For greater quantity of sauce, I'll add 1/4 cup of water. If I desire a creamier sauce, I'll use milk instead of water. Thanks, T.J., for sharing your recipe.

This was "so-so". I read a lot of reviews, and being afraid of it being bland, I used pizza sauce instead of tomato soup. Perhaps I'd like it better with tomato soup - not sure. Anyway, this was not our favorite, and don't think I'll be making again. Thanks anyway!

The first time I made this it burned so badly on the bottom when I followed the directions. Last night I made some slight changes---Put about a tablespoon of oil in bottom of the pan before adding meat. About a minute or two after adding the meat and searing the bottom I turned the heat down to med low. Worked great! Even my 1 year old couldn't get enough.

This was not bad at all. I don't eat a lot of red meat so I substituted it with ground turkey and the only other change I made was to use spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce (I think it gives it a better taste). I had a bit of trouble keeping it together but it still came out tasting good. My family still enjoyed it. Thanks.

This is the easiest meatloaf recipe ever. My husband and son, who are big meat & potato eaters thinks it's the best. The only thing I do different is I use Italian flavored tomato sauce and let out the mustard.

This recipe turned out pretty good. A definite keeper. The only problem I had was the wrong choice of ground beef. The meat began to stick, probably because I did not have too much fat. I think I'll use meat that is not as lean next time.

I was hoping for this to be more like the traditional meatloaf I'm used to, but it wasn't. It was okay, but I won't make it again.

This was my first meat loaf ever and it turned out wonderful. It was a little salty for my taste so I will cut the salt in half next time

Excellent! My sister likes this better than regular meatloaf. I did change the cooking times to speed things up a bit. First, I divided the meat into portion sizes so they would cook faster. Instead of browning on both sides first, I just threw the loaves on medium and left them covered for ten minutes. Then I poured the sauce over top, flipped the loaves and sprinkled the cheese on. After another ten minutes of cooking uncovered, they were ready.

I had trouble with this recipe. I always use the leanest ground beef and in this recipe I used home grown longhorn beef which has basically no fat at all. I could tell early on the loaves were not going to stay together and had to transfer them to a dish, pour the sauce on and bake them. I am surprised a didn't find the suggestion in the reviews not to use lean beef. Probably won't make this one again.
