Reviews
So easy. Doubled the meat & seasonings (but only used 1egg)
Very tasty. Have made this a few times now. A family favorite.
This was an excellent meatloaf recipe and cooking with the vegetables made it so complete. Served with hot rolls and a salad very tasty dinner!
This was awesome. Very dangerous. My picky teenager and I ate most of it in one sitting. Couldn’t stop. Making it again tonight. Smells sooo good. Can’t wait.
This was really good and moist. I followed the recipe exactly. The only complaint I have is that the nutrition information listed is for 6 servings – not 4. If it were 4 servings, then one serving would have 408 calories.
I used 93/7 grade of ground beef, tripled all ingredients and used Open Pit instead of ketchup. Divided loaf , cooked half in slow cooker as directed, put other half in oven, covered, at 300 degrees for 1.5 hours. The slow cooker recipe was better “by far” as quoted by the other taste tester in the house. The extra lean meat came out very moist and tender and held its shape. The baked loaf, while it tasted ok needed gravy. Will use this cooking method again.
Turned out like mush ! Loose meat not like meatloaf. Potatoes were dark on bottom. Not making this again
I love I think I made my best meatloaf yet
The meatloaf was delicious. The potatoes and carrots burned. Next time I make it I will add some water so that the veggies will not burn and stick to the slow cooker. Hope that will work as it was a great tasting meatloaf.
I made this last weekend and my husband and I did not like it. The meat was just too soggy and fell apart when I tried to take it out of the slow cooker. Taste was just meh. I did however let it sit in fridge overnight. Next night I put in frypan, heated it up, added 2 small cans of cream of mushroom soup, cooked 1.5 cups rice, mixed together then added sour cream to our bowls, and we loved it.
it was delicious,I would make it again
Really loved this. I had a pound of lean beef and about 1/3 of a pound of higher fat beef so I made this with both of them. Came out delicious and the veggies being cooked with the meat I think was my favorite part… I had to sub regular carrots that I coarse chopped. Made the house smell wonderful too
