    First ever 1-star rating for an Emeril recipe. Followed the directions exactly. The meatloaf has too strong of a rosemary flavor. The sauce has too strong of a worcheshire sauce. I should have expected that because, well, TWO TABLESPOONS. Unfortunately the two flavors clash. I found the texture of the meatloaf moist. Stated cooking time was fine. The flavors just didn't work too well for me.

    This was super easy to make and taste amazing! Only thing i did was added the onions in raw just because i love the way they stay a bit crunchy in the oven and i ran out of ketchup so i improvised with tomato paste onion powder garlic powder and salt. I also used 1lb of ground chuck and 1 lb roll of breakfast sausage. Keeps the price down a bit.

    Thank you Emeril for the best meatloaf recipe ever! I got the stink eye from my family when I said we were having meatloaf for dinner but they were converts afterwards. There was just enough left over for me (to the cook goes the leftovers! to take for lunch the next day. I used ground beef in place of the veal and left off the bacon as a matter of choice, but left the rest of the recipe the same. Yum! Yum!

    Best meatloaf ever! I couldn't find veal so decided to substitute it with ground chorizo and it was quite tasty! I forgot the bacon but plan to try it next time. Definitely worth the prep time -- family fighting for leftovers.

    Couldn't find veal but it turned out amazing...leftover meatloaf sandwiches cold with mayo...the best I ever ate!

    This meatloaf was good, but prep time (and pots, pans and measuring devices was more than one should have making meatloaf. I have used Emeril's "Mom's" meatloaf that is cooked in veal (but I use beef broth and I think it is actually better - and easier. My hubby agreed. Good, but not worth the time and effort. I'll stick to his Mom's meatloaf recipe!

    this meatloaf was amazing. i also had to cook mine almost 2 hours. next time, i will split into two smaller loaves. i also lined the bottom of my loaf pan with plain white bread to cut down on the fat that collects in bottom of pan. included the bacon this time, but next time i may omit it. its the glaze that makes this meatloaf spectacular. also, i used panko breadcrumbs and it worked just fine. defintely a keeper

    This meatloaf was incredible!! There is a lot of prep work but its totally worth it. My only comment is that I think the cook time is off. I had to cook it almost an hour and a half to get it to a proper internal temp.

    Wow I served this and told the company that we were having meatloaf...they were disappointed....until they tasted it. Wow, what a hit! There were no leftovers. My company said they have never liked meatloaf but this was superb. I am going to use this recipe and make meatballs and wrap it in puff pastry for mini burger bundles.

    WOW this was the best meatloaf ever!!! Didn't use the bacon and I swapped the veal for ground beef. The flavor was incredible. I thought the sausage was a weird addition but it was so tasty!! Made 2 huge meatloaves. All my friends loved this recipe! I've made it 3 times in one month already.
