    Tasty was not the word! I have mastered most of my family italian recipes but just could not do Meatloaf. OMG it was better, lol then my Mom's. It was simply delicious, moist and pretty darn easy to make.

    My daughter is just about the pickiest eater ever! I am so happy she loved the meatloaf and asked for seconds. I did follow another reviewer's suggestion and substituted half of the ground beef with ground pork. Really yummy!!

    If you want to make the recipe exactly as seen on video double everything except the meat and the marinara. The aired recipe is for 2 loaves so use 3# total of meat(s, double all other ingredients as they are listed here and divide the 1c sauce for the top between the 2 loaves. If you only want 1 loaf use 1.5# meat and 1/2c sauce on top using all other ingredients as listed. Hope this helps! It's a great recipe when done right!

    I added a diced carrot and celery stalk to the onion saute, subbed oat bran for the bread crumbs, and added oregano to the herbs
    It was delicious!!

    GREAT RECIPE "IF" ... if you follow the video! I'm a Caterer and have made this a few times for banquets. Note: I cut a bit of catsup into the marinara for the topping. And add a hint of ground pork to the ground beef. But please ... make your notes from the video & correct your amounts of this recipe - otherwise, it will be like a meatball.

    I tried this a couple days ago, and it is so tasty. I did add about a half pound of spicy Italian sausage to the recipe and it turned out wonderful. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill meatloaf.

    Except for the red pepper, this is exactly my meatball recipe. I use panko crumbs. And add 1/2 .c water. Makes great meatballs!!

    Great meatloaf! I've always only made meatloaf the same way my mom taught me, but I thought I'd give a new receipe a try. It was very easy to make, I've already made it twice since finding this receipe. The first time I definetly over mixed the meat making it a bit tough, but the second time I knew better and it was a lot better! My fiance really loved the new version. He generally doesn't like cheese but he didn't even notice all the parmasean in it and thought it was delicious!

    I always hated meatloaf but would make it for my family as it is their favorite. After trying dozens of recipes which all seemed to taste the same and forgetable I found this one. Moist, flavorful and delicious! I made 1 1/2 times the recipe which became a large meatloaf. My 15 year old son loved it so much he took cold leftover meatloaf sandwiches to school for lunch while I had hot meatloaf sandwiches for the week. The Worcestershire sauce and the balsamic vinegar kicked up the flavor just enough to notice and cooking the peppers, onions and garlic down made them just the right texture (compared to raw as well as adding great vegetable freshness to this meatloaf. I now love meatloaf thanks to Michael Chiarello! Because I made 1 1/2 times the recipe I baked it at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes - thermometer at 160 when done. YUM.
