I made this because I'm on Weight Watchers and this is only 3 pts. per serving. It was good but not spectacular. I did increase the amounts of onions, celery and peppers just because I like lots of veggies. The one problem I had was that the top of the loaf started to turn black before the cooking time ended. I think this could be remedied by covering the loaf with foil for part of the time. My loaf didn't reach the internal temperature specified, even after longer cooking. I didn't want to increase the temperature. So I cut the loaf open after it reached 180 degrees and it was fully cooked.
