Damn but that looks evil good... Maybe roll some pickles and onions in with it...

Don't know why they went with American cheese.

A mix of cheddar and jalapeno jack would be way better than processed cheese food slices.

It is a British food site. Maybe they think it is exotic.

I may have to try that. My most recent attempt at a meatloaf was a dismal failure. It came out much too dry -- I think I used too much bread crumb and not enough egg.

Cheddar would be too greasy.  American melts nicely and doesn't add grease.  It's cheese in name only, but might be the right thing for this dish.

Use "deluxe American" cheese slices.  (costs more, and usually not individually wrapped)  It's lower in moisture, and it tastes "cheesier".  Still melts good and not too greasy.

More egg won't make it moister. Eggs are drying (the whites) as they bind up water when they set.

I've found that adding more than one, or at the VERY most two, eggs to a meat loaf gives it an unpleasant "custardy" mouthfeel.

So what do I need to keep it from coming out like a meat-flavored loaf of bread? More tomato sauce?

I loved my mother's meat loaf, but most of her best recipes weren't ever written down. That's one of them.

Post your recipe and let's take a look at it.
