I'm sorry but I can't understand the good reviews. I made this as instructed and it came out extremely bland! It was very lacking in flavor. My kids asked me not to make it again. When I took it out of the oven it was half raw.

This is hands down the best meatloaf recipe that I've ever used. The glaze with the brown sugar, plus the brown sugar/vinegar gives it a taste all its own. I had such raves over the one I prepared for my family that it is from this day foward my recipe. The only thing I recomend, as with all my dishes is USE good meat i.e. ground round/ground chuck, don't cheat yourself and use some old 70/30 or just cheap hamburger meat.

Whole family loved this, but I used my own glaze on top. 1/4 c brown suger, 1 cup ketchup and 1/4 t of vinegar... Its the same glaze I use on my meatballs. Any how I had friends of my husband swing by. I offered them to eat. they passed at 1st and my husband talked them into it. well they loved it, today I posted what I was making for dinner on Facebook, and thery are upset with me for not inviting them! :)

We did not care for this recipe. My entire family of 5, would not eat it after one bite! It was way too sweet with all the brown sugar in the meatloaf and the topping. Additionally, the topping destroyed the flavor of the meatloaf and added an odd sweet barbeque flavor. The recipe did not call for spraying the pan; therefore, it stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Some of the best meatloaf I've had, it was a little sweet, I think next time I'll leave out the brown sugar all together, I also took other's advice and added some seasonings, sea salt, pepper and garlic powder. put less ketchup in and added worchestershire sauce and a little liquid smoke flavoring. I also put 4 strips of bacon on top and used my homemade bbq sauce with a little bit of mustard mixed in to top it. I cooked it for an hour then turned the broiler on to cook the bacon a bit more, then put the bbq sauce on and broiled a little bit longer.

I hate to be one of those people who changes everything, but.... based on the other reviews, I left the sugar out of the meatloaf mix. I also didn't realize the recipe called for Ritz, so I subbed toasted plain bread crumbs. I also added half of a chopped green bell pepper and a medium onion and a package of dry onion soup mix. And I left out the bacon. So, it was in the spirit of the Amish meatloaf, if not exactly to the letter. It was very good and I would make it again.

My husband is the meatloaf lover in our family, the kids and I not so much. But, after making this meatloaf, the boys and I were won over and have joined my husband in enjoying meatloaf.
