This is the REAL DEAL. Everyone LOVED this meatloaf. I was too lazy to measure the saltines - I guestimated and used one package of saltines (4 0z) roughly crumbled with my hands. Blending in onion and bell pepper along with eggs etc... is brillant! Mixing it all together with your hands assures that it isn't over worked yet well mixed. Then, by free forming rather than cooking in a loaf pan allows the water in the meat loaf to evaporate, leaving a crispy exterior. Thanks for featuring this recipe, it is a keeper for sure.

I thought this was a good basic meatloaf, not a lot of flavor & I didn't care for the plain ketchup topping. I def prefer the crushed crackers vs bread crumbs!

I have honestly never made meatloaf before. This meatloaf was absolutely delicious! My kids loved it. I added some chopped kale to add some vitamins.

I had no saltines. I used half french bread crumbs, and half crushed vegi-thins. I also put ten fresh sage leaves on top of the ketchup glaze. By the way, this is by far the easiest thing to make, can't get anything wrong, I'm giving it to my idiot friend who can't cook. and it was soft, so tender.

I dont have a lot of experience making meatloaf, but after watching the video I had to try it. I didnt have dry mustard so I added a teaspoon of table mustard and from reading other meatloaf recipes I added 1/4 cup brown sugar to the meat. For the topping I put ketchup on half and barbecue on the other. Both sides turned out delicious but the barbecue gave it a little more of a kick. I do recommend trying! Also I had to cook for 50 mins instead of 45 mins and to add to one reviewer, one whole sleeve of saltine crackers is 2 cups. My kids absolutely loved it and my husband couldnt get enough! I will definitely be making this one again!! Thank you Steve for posting!

I had to make a few adjustments but this was phenomenal meatloaf! Switched out almond milk and Earth Balance to make is dairy free, oats in place of crackers, half ground beef/pork, added an extra 1/4 C almond milk because I only had old fashioned oats. Cooked a little longer and it was the most tender, stick together meatloaf I have ever had. Just don't tell my mom. This make 2 good sized loaves. One for today, one to freeze!
