Excellent meatloaf! Used my own bread crumbs, don't like the ones out of green cans. Next day, sliced meatloaf on garlic bread was the ticket on a rainy day.

I added a few teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Turned out great! Meatloaf is my husbands favorite dish and he loved this

Very flavorful meatloaf and a little different taste than the usual. It was too salty for my taste and I like salt. I will omit the tsp of salt next time because there is plenty in the cheese, sauce and breadcrumbs. The texture was good and I will make it again with adjustments to the salt.
