Very nice meat loaf! I changed the blue cheese to parmesan because my husband don't like blue cheese. Instead of having the onion mixture on top of the loaf we mixed it with the beef. It turned out very juicy and flavorful! -
The best meatloaf I've ever made and really as good or better than the best I've ever had. My dh said it reminded him of his mothers. Though I've never had her cooking, it is a known best compliment when hubbies say that! This is going to my keeper file for sure, and it will be hard for me to try another. The only thing I did different; because I had to, was use dry italian bread crumbs for one of the cups and torn up bread pieces for the other. DELICIOUS!!! Made during ZWT3 by a Floozie - Remembering Amy! -
Oh my goodness!!! This really is the best meatloaf I have ever had. I scoffed when I read that because you hear it all the time. But this really is. Full of flavor, easy to make. The topping is savory and compliments the flavors of the meatloaf. I HIGHLY recommend using the hot sausage. The spiciness of the sausage blended with the flavor of the blue cheese for an incredible flavor that we will make again and again. -
This is one of the best meatloaf recipes I have tried, the bleu cheese really adds a nice flavor and the meatloaf held together beautifully. I could not fit the loaf into the 9x5x3 pan (I really did try!!)so I used a casserole dish and put half the sauce on bottom and the other half on top. My husband told me that he would like to see this dish on the dining room table again very soon!! Thanks for the terrific recipe!!

Excellent! Great texture and flavor and extremely easy to put together. Doubled the dry mustard and used panko for the breadcrumbs. Used fresh Hatch peppers instead of the green bell and it added a little "kick". Attractive presentation, too. Thank you.

<p>My husband and I live in Cambridge MA with our dog Archie. <br /> <br />I used to be a mediocre cook, with little interest in cooking ... then I joined Weight Watchers in Oct. 2006. I finally realized that to maintain my weight, I needed to find lots of extremely yummy, healthy foods that I enjoyed eating -- and the best way to do that is to learn to cook, and to learn to enjoy cooking. This web site has been 95% responsible for getting me there! <br /> <br />As of Oct. 2007, I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, having lost 70 pounds and weighing less than I've ever weighed as an adult. I owe a lot of it to the recipes I've found here! <br /> <br />Re: rating recipes -- I only give out five and four stars, and very occasionally three stars. I don't see any point in giving lower scores; I can't be sure a recipe has turned out badly because of something I've done. Besides, even if I don't like it, the next person might -- and if they see a one-star review, they'll never bother to try it. So I review the ones I've loved, and don't say anything about the ones that didn't work for me. <br /> <br />Hooray for vegetables! <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
