I have made this many times and it is nothing short of awesome. I double the amount of sauce. My family loves the tangy gravy.

I have made this at least 10 times. the best meat loaf ever! I just cut the onion amount in half though, it was too much. My husband keeps asking me for the recipe so he can give it to his family, I told him Hell no,let them keep making their crappy meatloaf!

Mmmmmm. So good. Brings out your inner glutton. Don't know if I prefer on night number one with some good veggies, or as a lip smackin' good sandwich on day 2. It doesn't last til day 3. Made this recipe several times and it never disappoints. Comfort food at it's finest!

This is my family's favorite meatloaf recipe. I saw Paula make it on her show with her boys a couple of years ago. It looked delicious and then the boys made sandwiches with it. I tried it and it is now a favorite meal when my kids come home for dinner. It truly makes an awesome meatloaf sandwich, but don't skimp on the mayo. I'm visiting in England and was away from my recipes and my Lady and Sons cookbook, so I looked it up on the web and was pleasantly surprised it was sent to my facebook page. Thanks Paula!

Made this tonight for dinner.. oh my goodness, such a treat! I used 93/7 lean ground beef and it did really well! I used a little less bread crumbs, a little more tomato sauce and baked it in a metal loaf pan (because I used the leaner hamburger). Thank you Paula! This is deffinately a keeper, nice twist on the classic. I also did one of the Garlic Mashed Potato sides as well. Quite yummy!

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
