This meatloaf was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. Next time, I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the meatloaf mixture, and it turned out much better.

This meatloaf was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less cranberry sauce next time.
