Marvelous, this meatloaf was even a hit with my ketchup obsessed hubby. Trust me, thats a testament. I didn't have the ask for bbq sauce and to be honest I was too lazy to make some so I just squirted in a good (3-4 Tbsp) portion of spicy brown mustard and a bit more water for the moisture. I also didn't add the cheese because I figures that there was already enough fat in the burger. This will now be my go to recipe when DH wants meatloaf, he really loved it and I most always have a box or two of that stuffing mix in the pantry.

Made this tonight and it was great! I deviated from the recipe a little - I used regular barbecue sauce instead of a mustard based sauce because DH isn't a fan of mustard. And while I'm not a fan of meatloaves that are very ketchupy (is that a word?) I do like a little ketchup/brown sugar glaze on the top for a touch of sweetness and will probably add that next time. Thanks for posting Chef Jean!

Delicious! I made a homemade sauce (Recipe #30613), used mushroom & onion Stove Top stuffing, and sharp cheddar. The only change I made was to hand-shape the mixture into a free-form loaf shape and bake in an 11x7 pan lined with foil, because I like the way it makes a nice crust on the outside instead of baking in grease in a loaf pan. This was an excellent meatloaf, and one I will definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe!
