This recipe was made on 5/21/18 for mine and my SO's dinner,but most importantly for the " Alphabet Soup Recipe Tag Game " . I don't know if June would've approved,but a bit of garlic powder was added to the meat mixture. Other than that the recipe was made as it was written. Instead of putting it into a loaf pan,it was free formed in a 2 qt. rectangle baking dish. After the total baking time was done, I checked the temp.of the meat and had to bake another 10 minutes(my oven temp. is off). Even though we both liked it ,it was a bit bland But it is a very good basic meatloaf. Thanks for taking the time to post this recipe,and " Keep Smiling :) "

I made this halving the recipe for just the two of us. I substituted a mix of ketchup and tomato sauce for the tomato soup and I used Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce. It came out in nice slices and tasted like June herself invited us to her house good!
