It was a great recipe. I replaced the bread crumbs with saltine crackers and had a few add-ins; I added some minced and sautéed onions, garlic and scallions and also topped the loaf with a glaze made out of ketchup, brown sugar and a dash of paprika, Knorr liquid seasoning and tabasco sauce before baking. Baked it for an hour in a greased loaf pan (no thermometer needed) and turned out moist and juicy. I paired it with mashed potatoes and some vegetables. Will definitely make it again. :)
