Overall, this is a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a little less salt and I would add some chopped vegetables to the meatloaf mixture.

Not a fan of meatloaf, but this one changed my mind! The blooming onion on top was genius and added so much flavor and texture. Will definitely be making this again.
