Tried this recipe and it is excellent. A keeper! Of course the brown sugar helps. Thought it might be too much onion, but not the case.

Made this for the first time last night for dinner. WOW! Made a few tweaks, main change was using 3 types of meats (beef, pork, veal of equal amounts); used Italian bread crumbs instead of bread, less brown sugar and no carrots or cheese. Still the best meatloaf I ever had.

It was edible and not bad, but I had two problems with this recipe... the onion and the sugar. I ended up only using about 1/3 of the onion called for in this recipe, since a whole onion would have been far too much. It would have been more precise to offer a chopped measurement. Depending on your onion-to-hamburger ratio preference, I'd say about 3/4 to 1 cup of onion, chopped. I recommend that you chop it very fine, sauté it first, or grate it like the carrot. At the end of an hour at 350F and despite being chopped fairly small, the onion was only about half-cooked. I also found using equal parts ketchup and brown sugar made the sauce too sweet. In future preps, two tablespoons brown sugar for me, max. Will make again, but with many modifications.

Love this! Finally have a meatloaf recipe thatis not a hunk of meat in a pan. I love that there are carrots in there. I use slices of whole wheat bread and do everything in the food processor. Just a few pulses and then add to the meat. I can have it in the oven in 5 minutes. We top it with barbecue sauce. I have also used the drippings to make gravy. Very good! Thank you!

The only reason I even looked for a different meatloaf recipe was that I lacked the tomato sauce needed for my old meatloaf (I've been making the same recipe from a cookbook printed in 1963) for at least 34 years. What a surprise it was to eat THIS meatloaf! Taste, texture and sauce are awesome! I will not be making my old recipe ever again. BTW I used a combination of ground venison, beef and pork. Everything else was as written.

I just finished making this recipe for the second time. Both times I used panko crumbs instead of bread. Everything else is like the original called for. The best meatloaf you will ever put into your mouth bar NONE!

I made this recipe using a box of savory herb stuffing for the bread and spices. No carrots or onions and less brown sugar because we are not sweets lovers. Yummm! My husband said it was the best he ever had and I concur! Thanks for a keeper.

This meatloaf is great! I left out the carrots and I used a hot mustard but other than that I followed the recipe. My husband said it was the best meatloaf he's ever had.
