Michael Wallace
Delicious! Made according to recipe as it was the first try. Great combination of flavors. Thanks!
Brittany Fry
This was good… but my family prefers more traditional meatloaves. I subbed Thompson raisins for golden and omitted nuts. I thought the egg topping at the end didn’t really add anything to the dish, so I’d skip it if I make it again.
Mary Norton
I followed this recipe to the letter! I am sorry
Danny Ponce
The recipe is good, especially when you ran out of healthy ground beef recipes, but next time I would add 1 more teaspoon of salt and maybe reduce oats and milk to get more meaty taste.
Steve Navarro
Fantastic recipe despite the fact that I made some small changes. Used bread instead of oats. Doubled curry powder to make it more curry taste.
Tammy Cooper
I made it as written except I left out the raisins. It had good flavor but it was too dry.
Kevin Ruiz
Excellent! THe taste was wonderful, made it when my picky daughter and pickier grandson came to visit, they both loved it. Has a savory and fruity flavor mix that can’t be beat. I wasn’t sure about pouring the egg on the outside, but it made an interesting touch and my 5 yr old grandson actually requested more of this part of the loaf! This is definitely on the staple recipe list at our house!
Julia Kelly
This was fantastic! Mild curry flavor that is balanced perfectly with the nuts and raisins. I used regular raisins since I didn’t have golden raisins. Family loved it!
Anita Hudson
This was quite tasty and unique. I followed the recipe and it turned out beautiful and my family loved it too! We all loved the curry. Will definitely make it again!
