Yum! I tried this out last night. I've never actually eaten meatloaf but my husband has....it was great! He thought it was delicious. I did not have tomato juice but used another reviewers suggestion and used salsa also I added green pepper, garlic, worchestershire and hot sauce (we like some heat!) I will definately make this again! Only four stars because I'd like it to hold together better than it did..once cut it wasn't really loaf...more of a pile.

This is a great recipe for meat lovers. The loaf held together fairly well. The hubby liked it. However, if you are like me, and need to really doctor up meat to enjoy it, you might want to make some adjustments or keep looking. I used to have a recipe that I liked, but the little one can't eat it. I will keep looking, but again, it's all just preference, and this is a great meat lovers loaf!

Love this. We like it using V8 in the mix, and then extra to pour on top to make a nice tangy glaze. The only meatloaf I make.

The meatloaf had a good flavor, but it didn't stay together very well. My grandma said to add a little baking powder, so I might try that next time. I used tomato sauce instead of juice and used a mix of ketchup and bbq sauce for the sauce on top. Overall this is a fairly good meatloaf.

i love this recipe i useually make mine from memory but i had to find a recipe for reference and this was closest. i use ketchup or a can of condenced tomato soup instead of juice just because i always have those around, and i always add worstershire sauce, and something like jamacan jerk or cajan to spice it up, and i like to top it with a ketcup, brown sugar, and mustard mixture, makes a sweet bbq as far as bread vs crackers, or oats, i'll use any of them but bread is actually my last choice.

Only if you jazz it up a lot. I added 3/4 cup of molasses, to sweeten it up, 1/2 large sauteed onion, minced carrots, 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing, 6 good squirts of Worcestershire Sauce, can of chopped tomatoes with basil and garlic, added an additional egg, probably put more quick oats than needed, in addition to 1 cup bread crumbs. I had enough for two loaves. I put cranberry mustard sauce on one, ketchup on the other. Both came out super moist an extremely flavorful. Even picky children enjoy it. I would not make meatloaf without throwing in a bunch of different things, it is far to bland and dry without the additions, which ever things you feel like putting in it.

The meat eater husband was a big fan. I used homemade spaghetti sauce instead of tomato juice (had it on hand). When I asked him if I should make it again or keep looking for another meatloaf recipe, the one bad thing he said was that he likes his meatloaf a little firmer but that he would definitely eat it again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This was great and I don't even like meatloaf. I followed another members suggestion and added brown sugar in the mixture as well as coated the bottom and top. It leaves a nice crusty coating on top and adds some sweetness. I also used 1 cup of tomato sauce instead of tomato juice, worked fine. Thank you for this recipe!

I thought this meatloaf was delicious! I used half ground turkey though, to try and make it a little bit healthier. I omitted the onion and added garlic. I was never really a fan of meatloaf and was really surprised how tasty this came out! I will make again!!

I've been trying to make my mom's meatloaf for almost two years and could not seem to get it right...so I started searching for different recipes and found this one. With a few alterations and additions, it came out fabulous. I didn't have quite enough oats, so I added a few pinchfulls of instant potato flakes; instead of tomato juice, I used most of a can of tomato sauce; a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce; about a teaspoon of mustard; instead of onions, about a teaspoon and a half of onion powder; and about a 1/4 cup of cheese. EXCELLENT base recipe!!!

This is just like the recipe that used to be on the container of Mother's Oats--we've been using it for 3 generations. Very versatile--I often cook it in holiday shapes on a cookie sheet (heart, shamrock, etc--made freehand) and glaze it with ketchup and A1 (3 T ketchup, 1 T A1). It cooks up much faster when made into a shape that's 1-2 inches thick.

Yummy. I used saltine crackers instead of the oats and liked it better. I also added ketchup for a more moist loaf. My kids even eat this and ask for seconds.

This was great. I too fried the onions. Then I went a stop farther and added a con of crushed pinnapple. I know it sounds strange. But you can't taste it. It just adds to the moisture. If you are brave, try it. You'll be grad you did. Betty

This was the best ever meatloaf! My first time making meatloaf and I was pretty proud of myself, thanks to the recipe. I grilled the onions first, and didn't put any sauce on the top. I suggest cooking about 5 more minutes than suggested time to cook, mine was a little under cooked, but still delish! Served it with mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn!!!

Although we don't eat meatloaf often this is the recipe I have gone to for years! It is the perfect texture and flavor. I choose to add more onions than called for because I like the taste and texture.

This IS the best ever! My first meatloaf lol and it turned out perfect! I added only two small variations ... I pressed one clove of garlic and added about two tablespoons of Pick A Peppa sauce. My Mom loved it and is going to start using this recipe herself! She took a piece home to my brother. It was moist and held together and was wonderful. And here's the kicker ... my boyfriend who happens to be a top chef always said he didn't like meatloaf so we never have it which is why I looked up a recipe and made it myself. He had only had his Mom's before and never made it himself. He tried it and finished it off haha, he said it was "awesome!". It will probably be a once a week at our house now. Thanks for the awesome recipe! Sandy

This is a great basic recipe. You just can't mess it up. I always double the recipe and make two loaves; one for dinner and one for the freezer. My husband even likes it the next day reheated. He is normally "allergic" to leftovers, so that is quite a compliment.
