This was really great. Didn’t change a thing!
Best meatloaf I have had. I made some adjustments. Used three different kinds of cheddar cheese instead of parmesan. Added fire roasted tomatoes. Also added chooped up bacon. Will be making this again.
It was easy, moist and delicious. I skipped the sour cream and used jalapeño chicken sausage in addition to the beef. This recipe lends itself well to creative changes. I will use it again
Delicious. Everyone loved it!
Very easy and VERY tasty! Family loved it. Did not have any white bread or bread crumbs so used Killer Daves Good Seed Bread, 3 slices, and added red bell pepper. Great texture ! Will make again, now that it’s not too hot to bake.
We loved it!
I did not care for this recipe. I usually love cold meatloaf, this one not so much. I assume it was the Italian dressing that gave it an unusual taste for me.
I will definitely make this again. It was moist and tasty. I have dairy sensitivities and substituted artichoke Firenza pesto for the dairy.
Had to make a couple of changes, due to lack of a couple ingredients. Used a combo of Italian bread crumbs and garlic bread crumbs. Also did not have fresh spinach, so used a box of frozen chopped spinach. Everyone loved it, and it is definitely a keeper in this house. Thank You!
Used 3lbs of meat and made two small ones. My family loved it. Put one in the freezer for later. Added mushrooms, onion and extra spinach. Will be my new meat loaf. Nice change from the tomato basice ones I had been making. Thanks for the receipt.
Okay, I changed this recipe drastically because of what was in my cupboard, but it came out amazing, so I thought I’d share. I definitely used less salt. So: substitute ground turkey for beef, kale for spinach, stale whole wheat bread crumbs for Italian, olive oil and rice vinegar for Italian dressing; omit onion soup and sour cream; add garlic powder, sea salt, oregano, parsley. Seriously, my husband described it as “addictive.” I’ll be adding this as a staple. It was almost too moist. I think I’ll reduce the olive oil by a third next time and up the kale a bit to see what happens.
Have so many delicious meatloaf recipes to choose from, this will be added to my favorites! Changed nothing! Only addition was before cooking the last 15 minutes I covered with crescent roll! Makes it a Meatloaf Wellington!! Kids love it!!!
I make meat loaf several different ways, but I always come back to this one as a favorite. I think the best thing about it is the smooth texture and how well it holds together, courtesy of the two eggs and sour cream. Even with lean ground meats, it doesn’t crumble. I usually up-size the recipe a bit and use one pound each of beef and turkey.
I make this recipe using ground venison. Everyone who tries it says it’s the best meatloaf they’ve ever eaten. I serve it with green beans and mashed cauliflower.
My 9 year old daughter loved this recipe, so I think it is going to be a go-to for our family to get in a little more veggies!
Really good. My husband and I loved it. Made it into mini loaves, cooked for 30 minutes. Thanks for the recipe.
very good and is a good alternative for someone who doesn’t like ketchup. It has lots of flavor and is very easy to make. Made as recipe directed. -Dana
I think this is my new favorite meatloaf recipe, I’m always trying to add greens where I can. If your kids are weird about veggies, this is a great disguise! So tasty! I make my own sauce to top it off. This recipe is a keeper!
Delicious, to say the least! I use half a packet of dry onion mix and a lot more spinach .
I used turkey, ground beef, and 1/4 soup packet. This was AWESOME!!! The BEST meatloaf I have ever eaten!!! Thank you:)
Yum! Followed recipe BUT used 1 cup oats and half onion soup mix. I would use all of the soup mix next time. Very good.
