    Wow..delicious...Allergic to green bell pepper, used Italian Parsley, no oats but Croutons..Brown sugar would've been too sweet ...Overall, very good. Still home cookin..Temp. for it to be done 145 degrees.

    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.
