These meatloafs were a hit with my family. I am giving it 4 stars because I modified the receipe. I added green peppers, I omitted the parmesan cheese on the top of the meatloaf and used shredded cheedar cheese at the last few minutes of baking. The big change I made was instead of ketchup, I used Open Pit barbecue sauce. Will definately make again.

This was very good. I gave it four stars because it was a little bland. I prefer things with extra spice and flavor. I will make it again.

This was edible. I used 1/2 lb. ground pork sausage like another rater suggested. It had a very unique taste. I think a pound would have been overwhelming. Although the texture was great, I gave it 3 stars because I didn’t care for the sweet ketchup taste and the parmesan cheese sprinkled top made it look UGLY. Next time I make this I’ll keep the sausage, add in some diced red peppers, and definitely omit the parmesan on top as well as the brown sugar, it was just too sweet. Thanks anyway.

We loved these--especially the sauce. A few changes: I sauted the onions in olive oil before mixing in with the meat mixture, just enough to soften them up. Also, I used all lean beef. I put slices of bacon on top to add flavor and keep them moist. Great!

I made this today. It looks great and taste great. I followed other peoples advice and only used 1/4 of the brown sugar. I also used all ground beef instead of pork. You will not be disappointed with this recipe. Two thumbs up. Thanks.

I hate meat loaf but this was excellent. My fiance has begged me to make it for two years now so I tried this one. Says it was better than his moms. On that note I had to try it. Excellent! Next time I will wait half way through cooking before I put cheese on top of each one.

Really really good!!! After reading some of the reviews I decided to also double the worchestershire sauce and saute the onions in butter and use half the brown sugar. My entire family agreed this was a superb meat loaf and I can't wait to make it again.

I have been looking for a different meat loaf recipe. When I saw all of the good reviews on this one, I thought I would give it a try. Instead of using garlic salt, I chopped up four cloves of garlic. I sauteed the onion in a teaspoon of butter adding the garlic at the end to soften the onion. I added about a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of ketchup, as well increasing the worcesterhire sauce to a tablespoon. Using a reggiano type of parmesan always adds a better flavor. Instead of the little loaves, I divided this recipe in half using one half for a 'bread loaf size' meat loaf (feeds three to four), with the other half made into meat balls for tomorrow's spaghetti sauce. I baked both at 325 for 45 minutes to an hour. Placing the meat balls in the sauce to sit over night in the refrigerator made this dish a delight to remember. Hope all of you enjoy this. This is one of the finest recipes for meat loaf I have tried. Hugs!
