This recipe made too much for one meat loaf--I made two large loafs from this one recipe. I substituted fresh garlic and fresh herbs for the garlic powder and dried rosemary. If you don't want a loaf for the freezer, I recommend cutting the recipe in half.

I agree with Ralph - way too wet. It said to shape into a loaf - it was like trying to shape wet corn flakes. Even after cooking, it’s a wet soppy mess. Use less bouillon would be my advice.

Like others mentioned, it seemed like it would be too wet/too much, so I cut the meat down to 2 lbs and the beef stock to 1/2 cup. Great flavor!

The flavors were awesome but too wet- didn't make a firm loaf. I used fresh rosemary but stuck with garlic powder. In the future I would definitely use less liquid - I used 1 c chicken broth and 1 c heavy cream. Would do the the same but cut in 1/2. Maybe more egg? More breadcrumbs? But tasted great-. Would try again

Added cooked lentils to mixture. Cut down amount of stock to one half cup water with bullion cubes mixed in.
