I made this meatloaf for my family and they absolutley loved it! My husband said it was the best ever. For a complete meal, I recommend serving it with the Ranch Potatoes.

5 stars with a few changes. I read a lot a reviews and then combined their ideas with one of the brown sugar meatloaf recipes. It is a total hit. My family loves it - truly best ever. and not the same old same old. I used 1 lb of beef (less), 2 eggs (more for better consistency), 1c salsa, 3/4 c oatmeal, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and chopped onion (dehydrated or fresh), plus a SMALL handful of brown sugar. sprinkle the bottom of the pan with brown sugar, add meatloaf and sprinkle top with brown sugar. bake at 350 for 1 hr. sounds odd but it's terrific. I hope your family agrees.

This recipe was pretty basic but a good starting point. I added garlic to spice it up. Also if you only use the pan as a mold and actually bake it on a baking sheet it allows the meatloaf to cook in 3/4 the time. When you bake it this way you can put a sauce on the sides too for added flavor. My favorite sauce is to mix 3 parts kechup to 1 part steak sauce such as A1.

Moist and tasty! A few easy substitutes: 1 small can tomato sauce in place of tomatoe juice. Add garlic powder or granulated garlic. Use 2 slices of crumbled bread in place of rolled oats. Make sure onions are chopped fine or they don't cook through. Top with ketchup before baking. A family favorite!

This recipe was great although I did make a few changes I used V-8 juice rather than tomato juice added about a tbsp of oregano 2 cloves of garlic as well I also added a couple shakes of seasoning salt. My super picky husband loved it and even said it was better than his moms and I NEVER have cooked anything better than his mom.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! I make this at least once a week for my husband who's absolutely in love with it. I double the recipe so we can make sandwiches for the rest of the week. Nothini' like a hunk of day old meatloaf on white bread with mayo! I also use tomato sauce vs. juice and minced onion vs. fresh chopped. It is still wonderful stuff to be such a simple recipe.

This is the best meatloaf I have ever made. My boyfriend hates meatloaf, but he loved this one and he wants me to make it again. I used ground turkey, 1 cup oats, Worcestershire sauce, tomato soup (I didn't have juice) and some spices (paprika, dried mustard, oregano). This was fast and easy and it's a versatile recipe that can be played with a lot. The texture of the loaf was amazing! I will never use breadcrumbs in my meatloaf again.

So so so awesome - the only thing, I added a tsp of garlic powder. My guy roommates gobbled it up. Yes, it is a bit simple but NOT bland. I used the sweet glaze topping from the recipe for mini meatloaf loaves (on this site). Served with sauteed green beans and mash potatoes. Total keeper!!

Very good. If you're looking for a thick, stiff meatloaf, this is not for you. I loved it because it turned out really moist. It does not, however, stay in loaf form when you cut it. I also added some parmesean cheese and garlic to the mix when I made it. Definitely worth a try!
