Delicious!!!!! This is a family favorite of Sandra Lee’s.

HORRIBLE! I was going to make my regular meatloaf, but decided to try this instead. Worst mistake ever. Difficult to pick up & put super wet meatloaf in crockpot. Then when it was done, it fell apart & became a large bowl full of meat mush. It boiled the meat.  It tasted gross too. I was really mad. Alot of wasted food. After a long day out in the cold rain traveling, my kids ate sandwiches. A WASTE OF TIME & FOOD.

i love this meatloaf. there isn’t anything i didn’t like about it. i usually don’t like meatloaf because often its dry, flavorless, and uses ketchup, which i don’t like. this however, is moist, has great flavor, and a wonderful natural gravy. i made it for easter, and everyone loved it. now i make it every year. 5 years in a row now. i have also made it for many other occasions, and people always want the recipe. its very adaptable too, and will still taste good. I’ve used pork and turkey, regular breadcrumbs, and a plain potato and its still very tasty, although the specified shake n bake i think adds more flavor. highly recommend trying this recipe.

Horrible, worse meatloaf I ever had. The smell was awful, potatoes like mush. Stick to your old recipes.

This recipe had too many prepared food ingredients. It was almost impossible to pick up the gooey mass of meat and other stuff (soup, shake n bake, evap milk, etc) and get it into the crock pot. The final product was unappealing with a gross mass of soup, grease and potatoes on the bottom. I was amazed that there was no salt and pepper in the ingredient list but that was probably due to all the prepared food that were included. I will not make this again. Yuk.

VERY Good I used regular hash browns and added a chopped small onion and half a green pepper used regular shake & bake for chicken and added 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to it although time consuming for making a meatloaf and many ingredients, I would make this again
