Great recipe that I keep receiving requests to make! I use a mixture of ground beef, veal and pork. I also use Hunts diced tomatoes with roasted garlic - like other reviewers I use a measuring cup to equal 8 oz but you don't need to be exact. The texture is a little loose but it's the moist "fall apart" texture that is part of the appeal.

I used about 2 lbs of a beef/pork mixture so I doubled almost everything except for the egg and didn't use all the salt for fear of it being too salty. I fried some of the meat mixture in a pan before putting in the loaf pan to taste what the end product might be. The only thing I ended up putting in was more salt/pepper and sprinkled in some garlic powder. My husband noticed the tomatoes right away so next time I would use either Rotel or petite diced. Would prefer to use ketchup on top instead of the sweet topping. I let sit for about 20 minutes to let it tighten up since some of the reviews said it was mushy. Definately very suprised it was that good - Will make again.
