This sour and tangy martini was made by me to my tastes; I hope you like it too! For a pomegranate margarita, you can use silver tequila instead of vodka. fantastic for Thanksgiving.

Reviews
Way too much salt and the loaf seemed to ooze with brown slime. Bummed because I used organic ground beef for this meal. I rarely eat beef, hence the huge disappointment.
I tweaked this recipe very minimally with some tips from other reviewers. I didn’t place the whole mushrooms (baby bella) inside, I just cut up finely about 5 to 6 mushrooms. I also sautéed them with the onions before adding to the mix just to make sure everything was soft. Nothing worse than biting into a hard onion. I also just eyeballed the ketchup, added some mustard and 1tsp of worchestershire sauce. I did add some garlic powder because it makes everything yummy. My dad is very picky and he said it was very good. He usually has a critique about everything but no complaints from him. Will make again.
I improved upon this by sautéing the mushrooms and onion first. I also added some Mustard Powder and chives, and instead of Ketchup only I used half Ketchup and half BBQ sauce. Using convection bake it was done in about 1 hour.
DELICIOUS!! I made this recipe with a few adds and subtracts. I sautéed the onions then added the mushrooms to the pan. I used fresh baby Bellas and fresh shiitake. I cut back the ketchup to a 1/4 cup and added a little less than a 1/4 cup of A1 steak sauce. I also increased the bread crumbs to 1 cup. After the sauté, I let the onions and mushrooms cool. This came out Fantastic!!
I made this last night according to directions, except canned Italian breadcrumbs & baking @ 375. It was done to temp in an hour (yay)! It sliced OK but didn’t hold together well when serving. It tasted good, except for a vinegary ketchupy kinda salty taste. It may have been my old, underused bottle of Heinz, but I won’t be using ketchup next time… and there WILL be a next time!
Added 1 smal green pepper and 1 small very hot red jalapeno.
I made this for my girlfriend, she loved it!
Very good and easy to make
made this tonight, only thing I did differently was to use panko bread crumbs. absolutely delicious!!!!
It was easy, tasty but the next time I make it I’ll grind all the mushrooms. The mushrooms I used were rather large and it was awkward to neatly slice the meatloaf.
This is the best meatloaf recipe I’ve ever tried. I followed the recipe but added about 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and used a little less bread crumbs. I also brushed a thin layer of ketchup on the top before baking, which added a crustiness everyone enjoyed. The result was perfectly baked, juicy and held together beautifully. Happy to give this 5 stars!
After reading the reviews, I followed a few suggestions. The best two were to use cream of mushroom rather than ketchup (I do not like ketchup with meat) and to make the loaf in a loaf pan and then slam the loaf into a 9×13 cake pan. I loved the crispiness of the outside of the meatloaf! I did saute the onions, mushrooms [and 3 cloves of garlic] before adding them to the mixture. Hubby really like this too. We both like mushrooms, but I had never tried them in meatloaf.
Yummy!!!
Easy, yummy, big hit with the household. Added a bit of garlic but would add more spice next time. Definitely recommend!
Incredible! I did replace bread crumbs with an equal amount of crushed salt-free saltines, which softens the texture of meat to a greater degree than bread crumbs
Turned out dry, needed a gravy on top.
We loved it. As suggested in other comments, I added 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and I added some Worcestershire sauce (maybe a little less than 1/4 of a cup). I also did the glaze as well which is 2/3 cup of ketchup, 4 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 4 tablespoons of brown sugar
Loved it!! 🙂
This is easy and delicious. I make this at least three times a month. Best meatloaf I have ever had and I’m picky.
Moist and meaty. The mushrooms give a good flavor!! I added minced garlic and tomato paste instead of ketchup Great meatloaf sandwiches the next day as well
The best!! I also sauteed the onion, garlic, and mushroom before combining with the other ingredients. Everyone loved the flavor.
