This truely is the best meatloaf I have ever eaten. It has become a family favorite,so I make it quite often. I don't use as much onion as it calls for because we are not huge onion fans,other than that, I stick to the recipe. We actually love the extra sauce.

This is the best meatloaf ever. I cook it for an extra half hour because my husband said it was too moist. It turned out perfect. I cut back on the onions, just too much. Thanks Paula, you are a wonderful cook. D. Peyton

I really didn't care for this meat loaf. It didn't have the sweet bite that I like in mine. Think I'll stick to my recipe.
