this is the best meatloaf recipe I have found! It had the slightly firmer texture that we like. I too used panko instead of cracker crumbs. Next time I will make half the sauce.

We made this with italian sausage instead of ground beef and I wasn't totally crazy about it but I think with ground beef or even a mixture of ground beef and italian sausage it would be delicious so I'm giving it five stars. I substituted half bread crumbs and half oats for the cracker crumbs. I also cut the sauce in half based on some other reviews and felt that it was plenty. I'm excited to make this again with half beef and half sausage though!

One of the best meatloafs ever! I didn't have the recipe in the kitchen, so I did it from memory. I always use rolled oats (they're healthy, make the meat go further, and make it more filling), so substitued that for cracker crumbs. I was out of tomato sauce so I used tomato paste mixed with a little water. I forgot to put water in the topping, but am glad I forgot! I just spooned it on and coated the loaf evenly, and didn't bother basting. Everyone was scraping the caramelized topping from the pan and slathering their meatloaf with it!!! We hardly have any left for sandwiches now!

Excellent !!! Best meatloaf I have ever made !! My father-in-law (who is a meatloaf conissieur) absolutely loved it(much to my mother-in-laws dismay. I made two 1 1/2 pound loafs and found the sauce quantity was plenty for both loafs. Definitely will make this one again.
