This was a nice change from our regular meatloaf with the tomato sauce mixture on top. I used ground chuck but next time I think I will use ground round and not have as much grease in the pan. Added about a teaspoon of minced garlic and used monterey jack/colby shredded cheese. If you can find the monterey jack pepper cheese that would be excellent in this meatloaf as the regular cheese was good but did not add that bit of zip to the meatloaf. DH had two helpings, a winner for in his book!
