I made this for my family today. I altered the recipe a bit, switching out where it called for ketchup with tomato paste mixed with diced tomatoes. I mixed yellow and Dijon mustard (half-half) and added a tablespoon of crushed garlic and a pinch of basil to the meat. The consensus was unanimous. Five stars! My mother told me that I am in charge of making the meatloaf from now on. My husband said it was the best he had ever tasted. I also served biscuits and cheesy potatoes (the cheese sauce taken from Paula's Pimento Mac and Cheese recipe here: http://www.pauladeen.com/pimento-mac-cheese).

Cheeseburger meatloaf coming out mushy. 81% gr beef. 60 min at 325. Any suggestions?

That fat content of beef should be just fine but the recipe calls for baking at 40-60 minutes at 350 degrees not 325 degrees. It sounds like it isn't cooking long enough. Another great idea is to regularly check your oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure it is gauging correctly!
