Italian Meatloaf by B H & G image

The filling makes the meat loaf interesting, reminds me of a pastaless lasagna. It was yummy. Came from BH&G "New" Cookbook (1968). I used Whole Wheat Triscuits.

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

This meatloaf was a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more sauce next time.

This meatloaf was delicious! The only change I made was to use ground turkey instead of beef. It turned out great!

I made this meatloaf for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone raved about it. I especially liked the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts.
