This recipe was made on 8/20/13 for WEEK 13,the Tomato Recipe portion of the " SUMMER VACATION " Tour. Everything up to STEP 3 was done according to the recipe. I've made several Meatloaves in my time and realized this meatloaf was going to be really dry if extra moisture wasn't added.So,I added about 3/4 cup of milk. Then to compensate for the dilution of spices from the stuffing mix, I added about 1/2 tsp. more of thyme.Also,I added some pepper and garlic powder.I really prefer free-forming the loaf instead of using a pan.I left the amount of the topping ingredients just as they were.After baking for an hour,the meatloaf was drained.Then topping was poured over the loaf and baked for another 15 minutes. My SO isn't a big fan of meatloaf,but he gave this 4 *'s. I too enjoyed it enough to give it a 4* rating. Also, I'm very pleased to be the first one to rate & review this recipe. " Keep Smiling :) "
