EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

One teaspoon each of dried basil and oregano leaves can be substituted for the Italian seasoning.

For extra flavor and spiciness, use bulk Italian pork sausage for part of the ground beef and add 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to the pasta sauce.

Everytime I make this I end up having someone over who tries it and LOVES it. I was on a quest to find the best meatloaf when i found this recipe a few yrs ago. I have since had several people ask me for the recipe and I grudgingly tell them where it can be found ;) I use plain old world style sauce when i make it but i use 1/2 ground pork, half hamburger when i make it. Im writing this now because I made it for a friend after she had her baby (as my hubby did for me) and she wanted the recipe. Now Im making it for dinner in a few days!

this was ok. my boyfriend loved it but the rest of us did not. important note - the directions here for the instant potatoes are NOT the same as on the package. might try it again with a few modifications.
