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.

Easy to assemble and like others said, a good base, but pretty bland as written.

We LOVE this recipe! I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and we were in a rush to find recipes that I could safely eat. I came across this and since I already love meatloaf, we gave it a shot. It is so delicious and moist. We used V8 like everyone else suggested and it was just so fabulous! We've made it several times and will continue using it, even after our daughter is born!! Thanks for the wonderful, low carb recipe!

I just made this meatloaf and had to post a comment! I did the recipe ROBERTA used and added 2 garlic cloves. It is sooo good. Thank you for this recipe! Love the brown sugar idea!

husband gave this three wows! its a great recipe to start with, it is one that my mom made all my life every monday night. I use it as a starting point and change it every monday night. What I love about this recipe is that you can use a very lean cut of meat. and it will still come out moist and tender :)

I think this recipe is a great starting point. It is very flexible. I generally add garlic to spice things up a little. One good variation is to add a bit of basil, thyme, and oregano, and a small splash of red wine. Another good thing to do is to add coriander (cilantro), cumin, paprika, and a bit of chili sauce. The addition of vegetable broth instead of (or with) tomato juice can also be good.

This is very good. I use half ground beef and half turkey so it has good flavor with less fat. I also did not have V8 so I used ketchup combined with a LOT of tobasco and some season salt. I also used some garlic powder. It turned out very good. Next time I'll add even more spice I think. My hubby likes things spicy! This is very good and very easy to make!

I thought this was GREAT! I did add some herbs ~ oregano, lawry's seasoned salt, a little basil... Also had to sub tomato sauce for juice and I was happy. Oh! The best part was a single layer of bacon over the top ~ added just enough extra flavor!

As it has been said, a bit basic but a nice starting point. I added garlic, tomato paste, V8 juice, basil and oregano.

Decided to try an easy, simple meatloaf receipe. Mistake. This was awful. Very bland, no taste. I would recommend putting some spices into this. Like one viewer said, if you see a recipe with only salt and pepper, that should be a big clue to a very, very bland meatloaf. I will NEVER make this again.

A real good base recipe. Had to do things my own way with a few things. I loved the oats instead of bread crumbs. I used 1 pound lean ground beef & 1 pound ground pork as I always do. Spicy Tom's instead of tomato juice. A splash of worsteshire, 2 eggs, 1 tbs of minced garlic. I always grill my onions before putting in loaf so they are cooked well. A small splash of tabasco. Yum!

This is a good, basic recipe for meatloaf. Like many others, I used V8 juice. I added 1/2 cup of shredded carrot, 1 T. Worcestershire sauce, and some other spices to liven it up a bit - I think the use of oatmeal is great and it's got to be healthier than cracker crumbs or bread. My only complaint/comment it, why does everyone put ketchup on a meatloaf? I don't understand it - fine for kids but it's just nasty. I know I'm in a minority here but I've never been able to figure out why you want to cover up the taste of meatloaf with ketchup.

This is a good "base" recipe. If you prefer bland food, keep the recipe as is. I like spice, so I needed to add a lot. I used salsa instead of tomato juice, and added quite a bit of salt free all purpose seasoning, and garlic and herb seasoning. Also took suggestions of other people and added equal parts ketchup and brown sugar to the top, towards the end of cooking.
