This recipe is excellent! My husband said it was the best meatloaf he's ever had, and couldn't stop eating it! I agree. It is very tasty and moist. And I love the sauce that goes over it. Some things I did different, like another reviewer suggested, I reduced the brown sugar to 2 TBS. perfect. not too sweet at all. Just really flavorful and delicious. Also, another reviewer stated there were too much dried spices involved, and pepper, these I just "eyeballed" to see how much looked right. And it turned out perfect! Just enough spice and herbs so they added flavor but not overpowering. Overall I love this recipe and so glad I found it! Thanks!

This was pretty good. I made only a few changes...yellow onion instead of red, BBQ sauce instead of liquid smoke, no mustard and no pepper. Hearty and filling but not really anything out of the ordinary.

Great meatloaf recipe. My husband is not a big fan of meatloaf but he really enjoyed this one, stating it was the best meatloaf he had ever tasted. I did cut the ground pepper to one teaspoon in the meatloaf as suggested by other reviewers but I am not sure that it was necessary. I also omitted the mustard in the glaze due to allergies and decreased the brown sugar to 2 tbsp as suggestted by another reviewer. very good flavor.

We didn't like this at all! Very "herby" and too much garlic (didn't thing there could be too much but this sure had too much)! We won't be making this again. Sorry!

Sorry. Have to disagree with a lot of reviewers. This was overspiced and way too sweet for us. We live in Tex Mex country and love our spice, but this entire blend of dried herbs thrown in was too overpowering. We will stick with our tried and true recipe that is more tomato and onion based.

Awesome meatloaf. We've never used oats before. We also added some italian bread crumbs since you can never buy a pound of ground beef it seems and its always over. My husband also added a little barbeque sauce with the topping (because he cant leave well enough alone LOL) I tried it with the BBQ sauce and with out and it was both really good. Awesome with the red onions too. I'll definatley make again!

too much pepper? are you crazy?? this is the best meatloaf!! quite tasty. the only change I made is that I reduced the brown sugar to 2 Tablespoons instead of 1/4 cup- the first time I did made it exactly and found it a bit too sweet, last night I made it again but with the reduced amount of brown sugar- and it was perfect! I want to thank you for sharing this recipe!! it is the now the meatloaf by which all other meatloafs will be measured.

Maybe it's a matter of taste, but this recipe has too much black ground pepper in my opinion. 2 teaspoons in the loaf and another 1/2 teaspoon in the topping. It's very peppery.

The best meatloaf! I've always used my mom's recipe, which is similar, but this one is better. I didn't have celery, so I subbed with red bell pepper.

Very delicious, though I did have to make amends for what was in my kitchen! I used yellow onion and red bell pepper. Didn't have celery, so did about a tbsp or so of dried celery flakes. I didn't have enough ketchup, so I thought I'd use BBQ sauce for the rest, but then I didn't have enough of that either, so ended up finishing off the 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup with the end of a bottle of 57 sauce, and even then it wasn't quite enough. I still had enough sauce to cover the loaf. Didn't have liquid smoke, but I think the BBQ and 57 sauces made up for it. I used about 2/3 cup of the oats. When it came out of the oven, I thought it was really crumbly, but then I realized that I had forgotten the eggs! So with the eggs, the full cup of oats probably would have been fine. Overall though, this was really tasty and we ate it with corn on the cob.
