    Unlike others, I follow the recipe exactly as it is here. Not usually a huge Paula fan, but my husband is so I have made many of her recipes. He loves this meat loaf. He says it's not too tomato-y like some other meat loaf recipes. We both like the topping and don't think it's too sweet, but that of course is a personal preference. Very easy to make.

    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.
