This is delicious. I used 2 sheet pans and it worked well.

Is this meat loaf overtly sweet with 1/2 cup of honey?

Bob5 years ago

I didn't think it was excessively sweet - flavor and texture great. My wife made it for a crowd and they loved it, made with 2:1 ground beef:ground turkey. thinking about making it with 1:1 ground beef:ground turkey for lower fat but still beef flavor. She made it a different shape. Want to make sure there is enough surface area to maintain/enhance the ratio of ketchup/mustard to meat and allow fat to drain off. I like the idea of adding mushrooms, green peppers.
