Very good and moist! I too left out the MSG and and bacon. I reduced the amounts of each ingredient as I only had 1 1/4 lb of meat. I forgot to pour on the tomato sauce before baking, so I poured ketchup over the top when the meatloaf came out of the oven. My husband loved it. There was 1 small piece left over which made a great sandwich the next day..Will definitely use this recipe again...!

This was a very good meatloaf recipe and easy to make. I covered the meatloaf with ketchup instead of tomato sauce and left out the MSG & bacon. Kids even liked it which was a shocker! I will make this again.

Great meatloaf recipe. It is just as good without the bacon. I didn't use the MSG, and I found that it is better with ketchup on top instead of tomatoe sauce. The texture is nice, and it doesn't fall apart when it's cut.

Everyone loves this! I "enhance" it a bit by finely chopping one small, seeded green bell pepper and mixing it in with the other ingredients. Also, my young sons (undeveloped palates) like it when I mix ketchup in with the tomato sauce for the topping - I do a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of the two.

This was good but mine came out with a weird texture. I will stick to my own recipe.

This was definitely the best meatloaf I have ever made. I omitted the MSG and tomato paste - just used ketchup on top and it was great. I was a little concerned that it wasn't done all the way after any hour because it's very gooey - I kept it in an extra 10-15 minutes and it was perfect. Even my picky 5 y/o son loved it (though he wouldn't admit it lol).

This was okay. Nothing spectacular to speak of. I would recommend using plain tomato sauce to top it off with. I tried diluting tomato paste and that was thick and goopy even with all the water I added. I also tried serving with a can of Meatloaf Sauce and it was not good at all; kind of tangy, actually.
