"Easy and tasty served either hot or cold, wonderful sliced cold for a picnic or sandwiches. We have enjoyed this basic meatloaf for many years.Try a change, instead of the usual topping, try your favourite salsa brushed on top, a nice Chipotle medium salsa is wonderful to top it off."

I have been craving meatloaf and this looked like a good one. So very good! It was moist yet sliced well, and it was delicious. Mashed potatoes and green beans were the veggies. Yum all the way around!

We all thought this meatloaf was great. Slices beautifully after setting for several minutes, and it was delicious!

Delicious! Closest recipe I have tried that resembles what I grew up eating. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then cut it to make it easier to slice into beautiful pieces that didn't fall apart.

Simple to make is always good but not as good as this meatloaf. We love everything about it! Taste, texture, topping to name a few. My husband had 3 pieces, so you know it's gonna be made again!

We liked this meatloaf! It was really firm and held together well while cutting. The sauce was good on the top and screamed comfort as we ate!
