This was really good--even if we had it a day early (Saturday!). :-) Served it with Recipe #187003 as part of *PAC Spring 2007* . What a great meal! I used 2# of home-grown hamburger, home-made breadcrumbs, home-grown fresh eggs, and home-grown & -made spaghetti sauce! YUM!!! With 2# of burger I ended up with an extra loaf--made in a mini-loaf pan (I froze it to give to my mom). Leftovers made GREAT sandwiches for DH and DSs lunches on Monday. The only "problem" was that as mentioned in the directions, it was a bit soupy, so added a few extra breadcrumbs--not a problem anymore! I think this could also be converted to a meatball recipe very easily, too. *Made for PAC Spring 2007*
