I’ve used this meatloaf recipe for years. The trick I learned early on is to puree the onion to alleviate the chunky texture from diced onions. My wife doesn’t eat any other meatloaf but this recipe.
I wasn’t a fan tasted like nothing but onions
My 20 year old daughter was craving meatloaf so I shared this recipe as we had all of the ingredients. We wanted to add green peppers as is somewhat customary in Black southern households but only had jalapeno peppers. She followed the recipe to the letter except adding one jalapeno and it was delicious! We will definitely make this recipe again. Very flavorful and moist.
Love it! Meat loaf is meat loaf is meat loaf…..but this one is REALY nice. My husband didn’t know that I was making a different recipe and was over the moon on this one. I was skeptical at first because it was so mushy in the making. But after it rested a bit it was perfect. It’s a keeper. Hint: I usually use a loaf pan and freeze it a bit till slightly firm, then turn it out on a rack to bake. Keeps a nice shape that slices evenly.
Simply perfect. Great flavor.
I’ve never been a fan of meatloaf. I hate all those that are dry and bland with ketchup on top! I’ve been making this recipe for years though. It’s the best, hand’s down! It’s always moist and full of flavor. I like using ground turkey in it sometimes too as a less greasy option. But this never disappoints!
Love this recipe.. I have changed it a little.. but everyone I make it for requests it again.
I’ve made this meatloaf for years……..didn’t know it was a Dolly favorite ! We just call it Sweet and Sour Meatloaf……..and, yes, it’s the only way I make meatloaf ! Makes GREAT sandwiches !!!!!
This is the only meatloaf my family will eat! and they eat it all! I follow the recipe exactly.
I thought I made a good meatloaf until I made this one. It is terrific and the best one
I have ever tasted. I am using this one from now on. Next I want to try it with ground
turkey or half beef and half turkey. I, too, used Progresso Italian crumbs just because
that is what I had on hand and it was delicious. My husband polished it off and loved it.
