  • “These are easy to make and fail proof!I’ve added this receipe to my once a week list and my family loves it! For variety, I vary the type of cheese I use in the loaves.Thanks for the great receipes!”

  • “oops, I forgot to rate. Five stars of course.”

  • “We really liked these.I started by cutting the recipe in half, then made the following changes: 1 pound of meat, 1 egg, left out the water, used red pepper instead of green.I baked them for 40 minutes, then let them sit, covered for another 10, and they were just perfect.Really moist and tender.I chopped up the veggies really fine, which I think helped distribute the flavor and moisture through the loaf.This is a definite make-again, and will likely also make it onto my OAMC rotation.Thanks for posting.”

  • “These were okay, but not really to our taste.The veggies were too much for my picky picky DD, and not enough for the adults.We found these a little bland.Not bad, but if I were to make them again (great presentation for sure!), I would probably amp up the seasonings to suit our tastes.”

  • “These were wonderful! I did bake the loafs a hour longer than what the recipe called for, only because I used just a pound of hamburger and only made 3 loafs and they were fairly thick. I was a bit surpised using lemon juice in this recipe but I did and we didn’t taste it at all. They were a bit dry but tasted great with alittle ketsup.My DH thought these were great. He had memake a photo of our meal today to show off these great loafs to his friends at the gym. LOL Thanks so much for the recipe! :)”
