Reviews
The recipe was easy to follow. I did add onions instead of the powder onions. It turned out wonderful and was very enjoyable. Will make it again.
This is our go-to recipe for meatloaf! We love the flavors and the texture.
This is my go to recipe for meatloaf! Whole family of very picky eaters love it. No big hunks of veggies in the mix to turn them off to eating it.
So easy, so delicious and moist. And easy. I mixed a little Worcestershire into the ketchup component. For the salt-free seasoning ingredient , I used what I had on hand: leftover spicy pepper dip seasoning mix that had salt as one of the last ingredients in it, and then I only added a little extra salt. Perfect with cool potato salad and greens on a hot day.
Very bland…
It was really good…….used fresh onions, garlic,……..followed recipe
Can’t really put a good review yet, its currently in the oven.. I really can not make meat loaf. Always comes out as meat loaf soup. Fingers crossed this is an actual loaf. Lol
Added 2 corn muffins since I didn’t have Panko bread crumbs. Yum! Also used a Sicilian herb blend in lieu of the spice blend. Fantastic!
Simple and easy. As with others who reviewed, I doctored it with onion, celery, shredded carrot and chopped mushrooms. Also, mixed ketchup with brown sugar and a bit of Worcestershire for the topping. Other than that, a really great meatloaf – served with garlic mashed and green beans!
I made this recipe word for word and it kinda ended up with the consistency of potted meat and that was gross. I can cook meatloaf all day, but I tried this recipe and one of these ingredients turned my loaf into a mush.
I am not much of a cook, but I’m really trying. This was simple enough even for someone like me. I loved that I didn’t have to chop onions for it, and that it used a single pound of meat. Plenty for two or three days for just me. This will be my go to recipe for meatloaf.
It turned out great! I used steel cut oat meal instead of the Panko bread crumbs because I thought I was out the bread crumbs which turned out not to be true. I think any kind of finely ground grain will work for this recipe. Yummy!! Also, I recently lost a dear friend named Jackie who loved to cook. So, I think making this meatloaf is one way of honoring her memory.
This was fantastic! I made it just written. It was so simple with so few ingredients I had doubts. I will make this again!
I used gluten free Texas toast croutons. Smashed them up with mallet. Also added fresh garlic. Mixed half the ketchup in with the meat. Put the rest of ketchup over the top of the meat loaf.
Absolutely delicious and fast to throw together. Followed the recipe as written.
I followed the recipe as is. Very moist & delicious. My family loved it & told me to keep the recipe in my recipe box
Good recipe, but I did change some things. Instead of ketchup I used 1/2 cup of milk because I didn’t want a glaze on top, 1/2 chopped onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 tsp worchestshire sauce and I added finely chopped fresh herbs. Made a easy brown gravy. It was delicious.
Oh my!!! This is such a simple recipe but oh so good. I’ve had a family favorite meatloaf recipe that I’ve used for years and because I didn’t have all the ingredients for it looked for a meatloaf recipe that I could make with what I had on hand. This was it and let me say my family just “raved” about it. I tripled the recipe and it was gone the next night. Unbelievable. And they asked for it again the next night. Let’s just say I will be retiring my old one for this. Thanks so much for a wonderful meatloaf that really hits the spot and makes great sandwiches the next day. 🙂
The only change I made (and I do this every time I make a meatloaf) is I subbed out the ketchup ( I can’t stand it) for BBQ sauce. The cooking time is off, it needed about an extra 25 minutes.
Made this according to recipe and it was very good.
Always on the look out for a good meatloaf– this was a PERFECT jumping off point. I like to sneak veggies into my meatloaf, so I sauteed some minced carrot, celery, and onion and threw that in. I used a total 1/2 cup of binder- ketchup, some BBQ and worcestershire, I think (I get a little mad chef sometimes and just throw stuff in). My boyfriend and I agreed this was our favorite so far! Thanks Jackie!
